Questions from Cheapside
Do you work near Ascot station?
Yes. Ascot station is about 1.6 miles south-west of Cheapside, and we cover both.
Could my house in Cheapside contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Cheapside can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.

Yes. We cover Cheapside and the surrounding area as part of Windsor and Maidenhead. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Cheapside
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Block garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Double garages
Across Cheapside, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- What category of work it is
- Whether VAT is included

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
