FAQs for Shoreham-by-Sea
Do you work near Shoreham-By-Sea station?
Yes, we cover Shoreham-by-Sea, including the streets around Shoreham-By-Sea station.
Are garage roofs in Shoreham-by-Sea typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Is my garage roof in Shoreham-by-Sea asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What happens
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there is no confusion. In December, it’s dark in Shoreham-by-Sea by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
