Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Larkfield: your questions answered
Do you cover Larkfield from London?
We cover Larkfield, about 27 miles from central London.
My garage in Larkfield has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What affects the price in Larkfield
Our quotes take into account:
- The survey scope
- The type of material and its condition

Photos that help
What to photograph:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Approximate dimensions
- Labels, if any
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.
What’s included, and what isn’t

What else we do in Larkfield
What happens
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In December, it’s dark in Larkfield by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- 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
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Getting ready
