Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Block garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Carport roofs

Colworth: your questions answered
Do you cover Colworth from London?
We cover Colworth, about 54 miles from central London.
My garage in Colworth has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
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 if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
