Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garages in a row or block
- Garages being knocked down
- Carport roofs
If you’re a landlord with garages near Pluckley station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
What your quote should include
- The documents you’ll receive
- If the price includes VAT
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Suitable insurance for the work
For businesses and landlords in Egerton
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you run a business from older premises in Egerton, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Egerton questions
Are garage roofs in Egerton normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Egerton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is normally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you work in Egerton?
Yes, we do: our area includes Egerton and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Keeping things safe:
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Weighing up your options
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
