Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Your options compared
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is normally right. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why us?
- Houses, flats and business premises
- No removal until we know what it is

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Old cold water tanks
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
In a school like Woburn Lower School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
