Questions from Hydestile

Do older homes in Hydestile have asbestos?

That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hydestile may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you cover small places like Hydestile?

We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?

First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.

Where do the sheets go?

They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.

Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?

In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.

How quickly can you come out?

It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.

Why people call us in Hydestile

Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.

Typical jobs in Hydestile include:

  • Brittle, leaking roofs
  • Sheet garages
  • Garage blocks
  • Garages due for demolition

Properties near Hydon's Ball may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Questions to ask before you book

  • If the price includes VAT
  • How fibres will be kept down
  • For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
  • Which laboratory analyses samples

What to check before you book

After the job

We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.

After the job, keep these in mind:

  • Keep children and pets indoors during the work
  • Let neighbours know beforehand
  • Give us a rough size
  • Send photos of the whole garage and the access

Avoid these

Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.

Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Limits to be aware of

Some limits to bear in mind:

  • We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
  • Different materials need a different approach
  • Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job

Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common materials

Service details

How it works

Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep the area clear of everyone else. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. In December, it’s dark in Hydestile by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

  1. Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
  2. We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
  3. You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
  4. We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
  5. The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork

How to prepare

  • Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
  • Let neighbours know if the work is near them
  • Ensure we can get to the area

Helpful guides

For businesses and landlords in Hydestile

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

Doing it yourself?

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
