Lunsford's Cross questions
Do you work near Collington station?
Yes. Collington station is about 2.3 miles south of Lunsford's Cross, and we cover both.
How far is Lunsford's Cross from London?
We cover Lunsford's Cross, about 49 miles from central London.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.

- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- What isn’t included
- Which areas and materials are covered
After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.

Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
