Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
After the job
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.

FAQs for Brooks Green
How far is Brooks Green from London?
Brooks Green is about 36 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Brooks Green homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do you cover Brooks Green?
We do: our area includes Brooks Green and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
