Moorhouse Bank questions
Are garage roofs in Moorhouse Bank generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
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 come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

After we have finished in Moorhouse Bank
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- File the waste paperwork
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
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.
Weighing up your options
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
