Asbestos help in Farley Green
Farley Green: your questions answered
My garage in Farley Green has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Farley Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Farley Green
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. We often deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and typical jobs are garages in a row or block and garages due for demolition.
Garages around Farley Green may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Doing it yourself?
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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
