Questions from Fernham
Is asbestos common in Fernham homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in Fernham typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Fernham
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Fernham. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Common materials are cement wall panels, ridge pieces and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garages due a new roof and garages being knocked down.
In areas like Fernham, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.
