FAQs for Bewbush
How far is Bewbush from London?
We cover Bewbush, about 28 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Bewbush generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.

What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials in Bewbush
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards

- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes

What it might be made of
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
