Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
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.

Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Materials found mid-project
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Artex before plastering
In a school like Northiam Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Mill Corner
How far is Mill Corner from London?
We cover Mill Corner, about 47 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Mill Corner homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
The process
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in Mill Corner by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
