Questions from Wroxall
Do you cover small places like Wroxall?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Are garage roofs in Wroxall normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
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.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
