For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, generally tightly bound.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Where asbestos turns up
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Artex before plastering
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old waste on site
In a school like Preston Candover Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Questions from Preston Candover
Could my house in Preston Candover contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Preston Candover can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Preston Candover from London?
We cover Preston Candover, about 50 miles from central London.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
