FAQs for Tonge Corner
Could my house in Tonge Corner contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Tonge Corner can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Tonge Corner from London?
Tonge Corner is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.

Yes, Tonge Corner is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
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.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
After we’ve finished in Tonge Corner
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Avoid these
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Never cut or break the sheets.
