FAQs for Wormstone
Is asbestos common in Wormstone homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Wormstone may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Wormstone from London?
We cover Wormstone, about 42 miles from central London.
Do you work in Wormstone?
Yes, Wormstone is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
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, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
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 are not licensed.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
After the job
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Going forward:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Give us a rough size
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- File the waste paperwork
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
