What else we do in Barnes
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Barnes: your questions answered
Do older homes in Barnes have asbestos?
If your home in Barnes was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Barnes with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Generally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
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.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Your options compared
Removal first, then the new roof, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why people choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Barnes, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
