Shoreham questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Shoreham homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Shoreham may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Shoreham?
Yes, Shoreham is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Shoreham
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages in a row or block
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
Across Shoreham, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Places near Shoreham
What else we do in Shoreham
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Your options compared
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
