It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in St George's Fields can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

Can I stay at home during removal?

My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
