De Beauvoir Town questions
Do you work near Dalston Junction station?
Yes. Dalston Junction station is close to the centre of De Beauvoir Town, and we cover the whole area.
My garage in De Beauvoir Town has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
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.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Weighing up your options
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
