Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
After we have finished in Upper Winchendon
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep weight off the roof.
Upper Winchendon questions
Do you cover Upper Winchendon from London?
Upper Winchendon is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
My garage in Upper Winchendon has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
