Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.

Horton Heath questions
Could my house in Horton Heath contain asbestos?
If your home in Horton Heath was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Horton Heath from London?
Horton Heath is about 64 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
After the job
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
A few practical points:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- File the waste paperwork
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Typical jobs in Horton Heath include:
- Lean-to roofs
- Double garages
- Garages due for demolition
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
In Horton Heath, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, often with cement roofs.

Common materials
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
