Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.

Yes, we do: our area includes Sompting and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
