For landlords, agents and businesses

For managing agents and freeholders in Nine Elms, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Which option is right?
What about painting or overcladding? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- The type of material and its condition
- Parking and access charges
- Access to the area
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A rough size or measurement
- Visible markings

Nine Elms: your questions answered
Do you work in Nine Elms despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do older homes in Nine Elms have asbestos?
If your home in Nine Elms was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Typical garage roof jobs in Nine Elms
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garage conversions
- Garages being knocked down
Near open spaces such as Battersea Park Lake, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed

Materials, one by one
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Should you do it yourself?
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.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
