These come up again and again:
- Corrugated roof sheets
- Single materials in rented homes between tenancies
- Debris found after DIY
- Boards and panels before a kitchen or bathroom refit
If your home is one of the older properties in Red Post Bridge, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, it’s worth testing suspect materials before work.

Common questions in Red Post Bridge
Could my house in Red Post Bridge contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Red Post Bridge may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Red Post Bridge?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What happens if the test is positive?
You will know what type of asbestos is present. From there, we will talk through leaving it, covering it or removing it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.

Roof felt and mastics
Older bitumen felts and mastics sometimes contain asbestos.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
