Looking after things afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
Going forward:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell us about parking and access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Your options compared

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can you advise before I buy a property?

Other services in Etchinghill
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
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.
