Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

What we deal with in Broad Oak
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
Typical jobs in Broad Oak include:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Pieces of broken roof
- Concrete-panel garages
- Lean-tos and carports
Around Flatropers Wood, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Questions to ask before you book
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- VAT, clearly stated
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

What happens
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. In December, it’s dark in Broad Oak by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
