Asbestos garage roof removal near Fairbourne Heath
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. People often contact us about garage blocks and garages due for demolition, including downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
Rural garages near Fairbourne Heath are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
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.

Fairbourne Heath: your questions answered
Do you work near Harrietsham station?
Yes. Harrietsham station is about 1.6 miles north of Fairbourne Heath, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Fairbourne Heath homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Fairbourne Heath can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How do I get a quote?

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
