Your questions about garage roof removal in Hinton Waldrist
Do you cover Hinton Waldrist from London?
We cover Hinton Waldrist, about 60 miles from central London.
My garage in Hinton Waldrist has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Choosing the right option
DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
