Common questions in Ockford Ridge
Is asbestos common in Ockford Ridge homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Ockford Ridge can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Ockford Ridge and the area around Milford (Surrey) station?
Yes, we cover Ockford Ridge, including the streets around Milford (Surrey) station.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Is my garage roof in Ockford Ridge asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Ockford Ridge
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From sheet garages and single garages, we cover cement gutters, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
Garages around Ockford Ridge may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.
