Ashley: your questions answered
Could my house in Ashley contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ashley may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Ashley and the area around Martin Mill station?
Yes. Martin Mill station is about 2.4 miles south-east of Ashley, and we cover both.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- The survey scope
- How much waste there is
- What the material is and its state
- Location, parking and any London charges
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A clear close-up
- A picture of the whole area
- Cracks or breaks
- An idea of size

Nearby places to Ashley
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Ashley must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
After we’ve finished in Ashley
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Typical garage roof jobs in Ashley

- Concrete-panel garages

Across Ashley, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs.
