FAQs for Stroud Common
Do you cover small places like Stroud Common?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Chilworth station?
Yes. Chilworth station is about 2.7 miles north of Stroud Common, and we cover both.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
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.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Stroud Common
If you are not sure your garage roof in Stroud Common is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Common materials are bargeboards, cement wall panels and downpipes, and typical jobs are carport roofs and broken sheets after high winds.
Rural garages near Stroud Common are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Helpful guides
What it might be made of
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Give us a rough size
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
Never cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
