Questions from Goodmayes
Can you work in Goodmayes with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Are garage roofs in Goodmayes normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Different materials need a different approach
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
A few practical points:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Give us a rough size
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
