Question 1

Is all asbestos in a home dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Asbestos is only dangerous when the material is disturbed or damaged, releasing fibres into the air. If the material (like a garage roof sheet) is intact, it poses a low risk, but removal is recommended if it's damaged or you plan renovations.

Question 2

Where is asbestos most commonly found in domestic properties?

Accepted Answer

The most common locations are in garage and shed corrugated roofs, soffit boards, downpipes, older boiler flues, and sometimes in textured coatings (like Artex).

Question 3

Do I need a survey before domestic asbestos removal?

Accepted Answer

For small, obvious items like garage roofs, a full formal survey is often not required. We perform a visual and material risk assessment on site to confirm the material's nature and condition before beginning work.

Question 4

How is the asbestos waste disposed of?

Accepted Answer

The waste is carefully double-wrapped and sealed on site, then transported by our licensed team to an approved, certified hazardous waste landfill facility. You receive the legal paperwork (Consignment Notes) to prove proper disposal.

Question 5

Can I just repair a leaking asbestos garage roof instead of removing it?

Accepted Answer

Minor leaks can be temporarily repaired, but if the roof is old, badly cracked, or if you plan to use the garage more frequently, full removal is the safest, permanent solution.

Question 6

How long does a garage roof removal typically take?

Accepted Answer

Most standard single-bay asbestos garage roof removals are completed within a single day, minimizing disruption to your home life. Replacement work may require additional time.

Question 7

Will the removal process contaminate my garden or property?

Accepted Answer

No. We follow strict HSE-compliant procedures, including controlled wetting of materials, careful dismantling, and sealing. We ensure the work area is thoroughly cleaned with specialist HEPA vacuums before leaving.

Question 8

Do you offer a replacement roof once the asbestos is gone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer complete replacement solutions for your garage roof, typically using high-quality, non-asbestos fibre cement sheets or modern lightweight roofing materials to keep your structure watertight.

Question 9

Why should I use a licensed specialist instead of a general handyman?

Accepted Answer

Working with asbestos requires specific training, personal protective equipment, and a Waste Carrier's License for legal disposal. Using an unqualified person puts your health and your legal compliance at risk.

Question 10

How do I get a quote for a domestic service?

Accepted Answer

You can call us directly or fill out the contact form on our website. We usually require a few basic details and often a photograph of the material (e.g., your garage roof) to provide an accurate, no-obligation estimate.
