Questions from Ware
Do older homes in Ware have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ware may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Ware and the area around Minster station?
Yes, we cover Ware and the area towards Minster station, about 2.9 miles north-east.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

What else we do in Ware
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
How it works
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. Late-December sunset in Ware is about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
