Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
For managing agents and freeholders in Yarbridge, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Yarbridge: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Yarbridge generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Yarbridge homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Yarbridge can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.

Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The quantity or area
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- How we’d reach it
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Damaged areas
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
