If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Keeping things safe:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
How asbestos removal works in Enslow
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We’ll explain what applies to your job in Enslow. We often deal with cement roof sheets, textured coatings and flue pipes, and people usually contact us about loft water tanks and garage roof sheets.
In places like Enslow, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Responsibilities for owners

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Floor tiles before a new floor
In a school like Bletchingdon Parochial Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
