About our asbestos garage roof removal in Brasted Chart
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Brasted Chart is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Common materials are downpipes, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and people generally contact us about garages due for demolition and brittle, leaking roofs.
Garages around Brasted Chart are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Brasted Chart: your questions answered
Can you work in Brasted Chart with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could my house in Brasted Chart contain asbestos?
If your home in Brasted Chart was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
