Asbestos help in Little Heath
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If your business premises in Little Heath were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Little Heath
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. We often deal with cement gutters, downpipes and cement wall panels, and people typically contact us about broken sheets after high winds and concrete-panel garages.
In a smaller place like Little Heath, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is usually simple to plan. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Little Heath: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Little Heath generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in Little Heath have asbestos?
If your home in Little Heath was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
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?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
