Asbestos garage roof removal in Swaile's Green
Asbestos garage roof removal in Swaile's Green
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. We often deal with cement gutters, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are garages due for demolition and garage blocks.
In towns and villages like Swaile's Green, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Swaile's Green
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Swaile's Green contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Swaile's Green may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
