Harbourland: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Harbourland typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Harbourland homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Do you work in Harbourland?
Yes, Harbourland is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

Why people choose us
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Across London and the South East
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Houses, flats and business premises

Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Once we’re done:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Give us a rough size
Avoid these
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
