Loxford: your questions answered
Do you cover Loxford and the area around Barking station?
Yes. Barking station is about 0.6 miles south of Loxford, and we cover both.
Do you work in Loxford despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
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.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
