Doing it yourself?

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Looking after things afterwards

Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.

Some practical advice:

  • Share any survey or test results
  • Plan any replacement work before the removal date
  • Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
  • Let us know where we can park

Things not to do

Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.

Typical jobs in Roffey include:

  • Asbestos garages
  • Materials found mid-project

Older buildings in Roffey, near All Saints Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
