Betsham questions
Do you cover Betsham from London?
Betsham is about 18 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Betsham contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Betsham may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is typically a short job, though access and condition affect it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What we deal with in Betsham
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
In older properties, we often see:
- Carport roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garage blocks
Across Betsham, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs.
Comparing quotes
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What paperwork you get
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord

Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Your options compared
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion normally mean removal. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
