Asbestos garage roof removal for Flishinghurst
Flishinghurst questions
Could my house in Flishinghurst contain asbestos?
Any home in Flishinghurst built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Flishinghurst and the area around Marden station?
Yes, we cover Flishinghurst and the area towards Marden station, about 4.6 miles north.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Flishinghurst
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Whether it’s sheet garages and brittle, leaking roofs, we deal with bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement wall panels and more.
Garages around Flishinghurst may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Flishinghurst, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Parking and access charges
- How much waste there is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The type of material and its condition
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- An idea of size
- The parking area
- Cracks or breaks
- How we’d reach it
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.

- Concrete-panel garages
- Garage blocks
- Broken sheets after high winds
If you let a house with a garage near Marden station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

- What isn’t included
- How fibres will be kept down
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Can I do it myself?
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.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
