Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. People often contact us about garages due for demolition and carport roofs, involving corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and cement gutters.
In Chessington, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

If you manage or own a block in Chessington, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Your options compared

Common questions in Chessington
Can you work in Chessington with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do you cover Chessington and the area around Chessington North station?
Yes, we cover Chessington, including the streets around Chessington North station.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work in Chessington?
Yes. We cover Chessington and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
