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.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
After the job
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Once we’re done:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
What to avoid
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Common questions in Coates
Could my house in Coates contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is generally quick once we are set up.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The type of material and its condition
- How much waste there is
- The quantity or area
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- An idea of size
- Cracks or breaks
- Where we could park
- A close-up from a safe distance
Send us the address in Coates, a description and some photos: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page, and we will reply with a quote.
