Common questions in Penton Corner
Are garage roofs in Penton Corner usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Penton Corner homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Penton Corner
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Lean-to roofs
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garages being knocked down
Near open spaces such as Anton Lakes, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
