Ashford Hill: your questions answered
Could my house in Ashford Hill contain asbestos?
Any home in Ashford Hill built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Ashford Hill and the area around Midgham station?
Yes, we cover Ashford Hill and the area towards Midgham station, about 3 miles north.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Why people call us in Ashford Hill
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.

- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs

Older houses in Ashford Hill, near Church of St Paul or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.

Things not to do
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
