Asbestos garage roof removal near Oare
FAQs for Oare
Could my house in Oare contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Oare may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Oare from London?
Oare is about 44 miles from central London, well within our area.
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.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Do you work in Oare?
We do: our area includes Oare and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
