If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Single garages
- Garage conversions
- Garages being knocked down
Across Hothfield, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Hothfield questions
Do you cover Hothfield from London?
Hothfield is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Hothfield?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Your options compared
What about painting or overcladding? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. Our guide covers the options. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
