What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
A few practical points:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Don’ts
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep weight off the roof.
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What it might be made of
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Questions from Abinger Bottom
Do you work near Gomshall station?
Yes. Gomshall station is about 3 miles north-west of Abinger Bottom, and we cover both.
Are garage roofs in Abinger Bottom typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
