Highams Park questions
Do you cover Highams Park and the area around Highams Park station?
Yes, we cover Highams Park and the area towards Highams Park station, about 0.7 miles east.
Do older homes in Highams Park have asbestos?
Any home in Highams Park built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
