Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Ilmer, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Some practical advice:

- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.

The process
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, then loaded for disposal. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In December, it’s dark in Ilmer by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Let us know if something’s broken

Common questions in Ilmer
Do you cover Ilmer from London?
Ilmer is about 38 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Ilmer?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
