Questions from Frilsham
Do you work near Midgham station?
Yes. Midgham station is about 4.3 miles south of Frilsham, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Frilsham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
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’re worried about your health.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Is my garage roof in Frilsham asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.

Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
