Common questions in Mortimer West End
Do you come out to small villages like Mortimer West End?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Are garage roofs in Mortimer West End normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.

- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels

Where asbestos turns up

Near open spaces such as Hosehill Lake, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
