Common questions in Up Somborne
Do you cover small places like Up Somborne?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Up Somborne from London?
Up Somborne is about 64 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Typically not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
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 will advise.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.

The scope of garage roof removal
Worth knowing before you book:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change

- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes

- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
Your options compared
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
