Kensington questions
Can you work in Kensington with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
My garage in Kensington has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Looking after things afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Going forward:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Give us a rough size
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
The process
Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep the area clear of everyone else. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion. In December, it’s dark in Kensington by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
