Edenbridge questions
My garage in Edenbridge has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Edenbridge and the area around Edenbridge Town station?
Yes. Edenbridge Town station is close to the centre of Edenbridge, and we cover the whole area.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
