With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Questions from Hornsey
Could my house in Hornsey contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hornsey may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Hornsey has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Do you work in Hornsey?
Yes. We cover Hornsey and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Which option is right?
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
