Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Questions from Cockpole Green
Do you cover Cockpole Green from London?
We cover Cockpole Green, about 33 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Cockpole Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.

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.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Typical jobs in Cockpole Green include:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old flues
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
Landlords near Shiplake station often time removal for when a property is empty.
