Common questions in Rose Hill
Are garage roofs in Rose Hill usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover small places like Rose Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
