Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Kingston Stert and the area around Princes Risborough station?
Yes. Princes Risborough station is about 4.6 miles east of Kingston Stert, and we cover both.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can usually stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.

Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Textured coatings
- Garage roof sheets
- Floor tiles before a new floor
In a school like Aston Rowant Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Weighing up your options
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is usually right. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
