Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
These are some of the things we deal with in Lake End:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garage blocks
- Garages due for demolition
Older houses in Lake End, near Church of St James or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Before you book anyone
- What paperwork you get
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- If the price includes VAT
Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Some practical advice:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- No removal until we know what it is
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Covering London and the South East

Lake End: your questions answered
My garage in Lake End has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is Lake End from London?
We cover Lake End, about 24 miles from central London.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Is my garage roof in Lake End asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is generally quick once we are set up.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

What happens
