Rusher's Cross: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Rusher's Cross usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do older homes in Rusher's Cross have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Rusher's Cross can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.

What if my house is newer?

Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
