Your questions about garage roof removal in Hornton
Is asbestos common in Hornton homes?
If your home in Hornton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Hornton has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
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.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Hornton
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages due a new roof
- Double garages
- Concrete-panel garages
In Hornton, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, often with cement roofs.
