Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
A closer look at the materials
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
After the job
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
Some practical advice:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Little London must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Typical garage roof jobs in Little London
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Single garages
- Garage conversions
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
Near open spaces such as Blunts Wood and Paiges Meadow, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What your quote should include
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Whether VAT is included
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof

Questions from Little London
Is asbestos common in Little London homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Little London may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Little London from London?
We cover Little London, about 31 miles from central London.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.

We’re upfront about what’s included:
