FAQs for Horsham
Are garage roofs in Horsham normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Horsham station?
Yes. Horsham station is close to the centre of Horsham, and we cover the whole area.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Do you work in Horsham?
Yes, Horsham is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
