Your questions about garage roof removal in Blackness
Do you work near Pevensey & Westham station?
Yes. Pevensey & Westham station is about 1.5 miles east of Blackness, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Blackness homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Blackness may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
