FAQs for Bourne End
Are garage roofs in Bourne End normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Bourne End from London?
Bourne End is about 27 miles from central London, well within our area.
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.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
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, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Give us a rough size
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Don’ts
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Doing it yourself?
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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
