Common questions in Halfway Houses
Could my house in Halfway Houses contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Halfway Houses can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in Halfway Houses typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is my garage roof in Halfway Houses asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Tell us about parking and access

Things not to do

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
