How it works
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, ready for disposal at a permitted site. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Goathurst Common by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Getting ready
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

FAQs for Goathurst Common
Do older homes in Goathurst Common have asbestos?
If your home in Goathurst Common was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Goathurst Common?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
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; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
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 can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- How easy it is to reach
- How much there is
- How many samples are needed

- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Approximate dimensions
