FAQs for Deal
Are garage roofs in Deal typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.

Deal is about 67 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Can you help a business or landlord?

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Block garages
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garage conversions
- Storm-damaged sheets
If you’re a landlord with garages near Deal station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

- Which laboratory analyses samples
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
