What we deal with in Beacon's Bottom
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garages being knocked down
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Single garages
Near open spaces such as Yoesden, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

Asbestos garage roof removal in Beacon's Bottom
If you are not sure your garage roof in Beacon's Bottom is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. People often contact us about double garages and garages being knocked down, including ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
Rural garages near Beacon's Bottom are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common questions in Beacon's Bottom
Do you work near Saunderton station?
Yes. Saunderton station is about 2.4 miles north-east of Beacon's Bottom, and we cover both.
Could my house in Beacon's Bottom contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Beacon's Bottom can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
