Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion generally mean removal. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.

FAQs for Eastbury
Do you cover Eastbury from London?
We cover Eastbury, about 60 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Eastbury?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
