FAQs for Cookham Dean
Do you cover Cookham Dean from London?
Cookham Dean is about 28 miles from central London, well within our area.
My garage in Cookham Dean has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
For businesses and landlords in Cookham Dean
If you run a business from older premises in Cookham Dean, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
