Carshalton: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Carshalton homes?
If your home in Carshalton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Carshalton station?
Yes, we cover Carshalton, including the streets around Carshalton station.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.

Should you do 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 cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Where asbestos turns up
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Double garages
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Carport roofs
For rented homes with garages close to Carshalton station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
