Earlsfield questions
Is asbestos common in Earlsfield homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Earlsfield can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Earlsfield station?
Yes. Earlsfield station is close to the centre of Earlsfield, and we cover the whole area.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
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.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Earlsfield
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages due a new roof
- Double garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
Older houses in Earlsfield, near St John the Divine or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work

Helpful guides
What it might be made of
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
