Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Hornchurch Marshes
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which need careful clearing.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Block garages
- Double garages
If you’re a landlord with garages near Dagenham Dock station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed

- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Hornchurch Marshes questions
Could my house in Hornchurch Marshes contain asbestos?
If your home in Hornchurch Marshes was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Hornchurch Marshes generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Materials we deal with
Wall panels
