Brentford questions
Can you work in Brentford with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do older homes in Brentford have asbestos?
If your home in Brentford was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Brentford?
We do: Brentford is within the area we cover in Greater London. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is typically quick once we are set up.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Brentford
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Brentford tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From garages before a new roof or conversion and brittle, leaking roofs, we deal with cement wall panels, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In parts of London like Brentford, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Brentford must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
