About our asbestos garage roof removal in Eridge Green

An old asbestos cement garage roof in Eridge Green tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Common materials are bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and lean-tos and carports.

Garages around Eridge Green may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Eridge Green questions

Is asbestos common in Eridge Green homes?

If your home in Eridge Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you work near Eridge station?

Yes, we cover Eridge Green and the area towards Eridge station, about 1.2 miles south-west.

Will I get the price in writing?

Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.

Where do the sheets go?

Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.

How can I get a price?

Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?

First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.

How quickly can you come out?

That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Can you help with a shop or office?

We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.

Service details

Duty holders and landlords in Eridge Green

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Eridge Green must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Options to consider in Eridge Green

Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Why choose us

  • Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
  • London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
  • Records for your files
  • Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Prices and what affects them

The biggest factors in the price are:

  • The number of samples or the size of the building
  • Waste quantity and disposal
  • Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
  • What the material is and its state

Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

Helping us quote

When you send photos, these help most:

  • The parking area
  • Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
  • A clear close-up
  • An overall view
