- Double garages
Around Hatch Park, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together.
What your quote should include

What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Licensed or non-licensed

Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Finberry questions
My garage in Finberry has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Could my house in Finberry contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
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. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.

Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, ready for disposal at a permitted site. While we work, the area stays out of bounds. Late-December sunset in Finberry is about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
