Questions from Eyhorne Street
Are garage roofs in Eyhorne Street typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Hollingbourne station?
Yes. Hollingbourne station is close to the centre of Eyhorne Street, and we cover the whole area.
Is my garage roof in Eyhorne Street asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

Duty holders and landlords in Eyhorne Street

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
