Asbestos help in Little Chart
Can I do it myself?
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.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Little Chart
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical materials include cement gutters, cement wall panels and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are lean-to roofs and sheet garages.
Rural garages near Little Chart are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What to avoid
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.

Questions from Little Chart
Do you cover Little Chart from London?
We cover Little Chart, about 44 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Little Chart?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Usually, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
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 do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
