FAQs for Arnos Grove
Do you work in Arnos Grove despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Is asbestos common in Arnos Grove homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Arnos Grove may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is normally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
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; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Which option is right?

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
