Helpful guides
Fair Cross questions
How far is Fair Cross from London?
Fair Cross is about 40 miles from central London, well within our area.
My garage in Fair Cross has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is my garage roof in Fair Cross asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
