Choosing an asbestos contractor

Tattenhoe questions

My garage in Tattenhoe has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?

Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.

Is asbestos common in Tattenhoe homes?

That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Tattenhoe can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Does someone need to be there?

Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.

What if asbestos is found during building work?

Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.

For businesses and landlords in Tattenhoe

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Tattenhoe, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Should you do it yourself?

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Afterwards

We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.

Going forward:

  • Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
  • Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
  • Plan the new roof before removal
  • Tell us about parking and access

Things not to do

Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
