FAQs for Lenham Heath
Do you come out to small villages like Lenham Heath?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
My garage in Lenham Heath has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- High winds can delay roof work
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
