Golden Cross questions
Are garage roofs in Golden Cross generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes, we cover Golden Cross and the area towards Berwick (Sussex) station, about 3.6 miles south.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
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.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Do you cover Golden Cross?
Yes, Golden Cross is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.

Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Some practical advice:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
