Questions from Elsted Marsh
How far is Elsted Marsh from London?
We cover Elsted Marsh, about 47 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Elsted Marsh typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the waste paperwork
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
