Rackham: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Rackham homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Rackham may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Rackham from London?
We cover Rackham, about 44 miles from central London.
Do you work in Rackham?
We do: our area includes Rackham and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I get a quote?

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
After we’ve finished:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Things not to do
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
