Materials we deal with
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.

Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
After the job
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Common questions in Wickham Heath
Do you come out to small villages like Wickham Heath?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Kintbury station?
Yes. Kintbury station is about 2.7 miles south-west of Wickham Heath, and we cover both.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
