Questions from Reculver
My garage in Reculver has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you come out to small villages like Reculver?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Duty holders and landlords in Reculver
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
What we deal with in Reculver
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These come up again and again:
- Garage conversions
- Garages in a row or block
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Brittle, leaking roofs
In Reculver, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
What to look for in a quote
- What isn’t included
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- How fibres will be kept down
Which option is right?
Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Why us?
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Clear written quotes
- Covering London and the South East
