Common questions in Upper North Dean
My garage in Upper North Dean has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do older homes in Upper North Dean have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Upper North Dean can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
