A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are generally asbestos cement too.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If your business premises in Burnt Oak were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Questions from Burnt Oak
My garage in Burnt Oak has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Burnt Oak and the area around Mill Hill Broadway station?
Yes. Mill Hill Broadway station is about 0.5 miles north-east of Burnt Oak, and we cover both.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
