Common questions in Lower Padworth
Could my house in Lower Padworth contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Lower Padworth may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Lower Padworth from London?
We cover Lower Padworth, about 45 miles from central London.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Typically not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Lower Padworth

For businesses and landlords in Lower Padworth

After the job
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Give us a rough size
Things not to do
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
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.
