Asbestos garage roof removal for Hunston
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Hunston
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Hunston is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Typical jobs include sheet garages and garages being knocked down, involving cement wall panels, downpipes and ridge pieces.
Rural garages near Hunston are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
If you run a business from older premises in Hunston, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Options to consider in Hunston
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Our guide covers the options. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Common questions in Hunston
Do you come out to small villages like Hunston?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Hunston have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hunston may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How can I get a price?

Is my garage roof in Hunston asbestos?
