Asbestos garage roof removal in Crowhurst Lane End

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Helpful guides
Crowhurst Lane End: your questions answered
Could my house in Crowhurst Lane End contain asbestos?
If your home in Crowhurst Lane End was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in Crowhurst Lane End usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is generally quick once we’re set up.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
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.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
