Hanover questions
Do you cover Hanover from London?
We cover Hanover, about 46 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Hanover have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Do you cover Hanover?
We do: Hanover is within the area we cover in Brighton and Hove. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What we deal with in Hanover
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Brighton and Hove.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Sheet garages
- Lean-to roofs
Near open spaces such as Whitehawk Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Hanover were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- The size of the job
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The type of material and its condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A clear close-up
- Approximate dimensions
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A photo of the whole area
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
What we do and do not cover
Before booking, note that:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
