Your questions about garage roof removal in West Yoke
Do older homes in West Yoke have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in West Yoke can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like West Yoke?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
