Your questions about garage roof removal in Mitcham
Can you work in Mitcham with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you work near Mitcham Eastfields station?
Yes. Mitcham Eastfields station is about 0.5 miles north of Mitcham, and we cover both.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What’s the difference between a test and 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.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.

Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.

On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. Late-December sunset in Mitcham is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Can I do it myself?
