Wateringbury: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Wateringbury usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Wateringbury and the area around Wateringbury station?
Yes. Wateringbury station is close to the centre of Wateringbury, and we cover the whole area.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.

Which option is right?
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
