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

Four Ashes: your questions answered
My garage in Four Ashes has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Four Ashes?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
