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.

Whether it’s cement water tanks in lofts and asbestos found during building work, we deal with gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and cement roof sheets.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Once we are done:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
The process
Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and nobody else enters the work area. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion. In winter, the light goes in Rooksdown by about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

Questions from Rooksdown
Do you cover Rooksdown from London?
Rooksdown is about 47 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Rooksdown and the area around Basingstoke station?
Yes. Basingstoke station is about 1.7 miles south-east of Rooksdown, and we cover both.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
