After we have finished in Merton Abbey
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Keeping things safe:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Things not to do
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
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.

Questions from Merton Abbey
Can you work in Merton Abbey with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you work near Haydons Road station?
Yes. Haydons Road station is about 0.9 miles north of Merton Abbey, and we cover both.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work in Merton Abbey?
Yes. We cover Merton Abbey and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
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.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
