Common questions in North Cheam
Do you work near West Sutton station?
Yes. West Sutton station is about 0.8 miles south-east of North Cheam, and we cover both.
Can you work in North Cheam with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you cover North Cheam?
Yes. We cover North Cheam and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Asbestos garage roof removal near North Cheam
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. From roofs to clear before demolition and pieces of broken roof, we deal with cement wall panels, ridge pieces and downpipes and more.
In North Cheam, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

A closer look at the materials
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.

Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on. Garage roof removal in North Cheam is planned around daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
- Let neighbours know beforehand
What to avoid
Keep weight off the roof.
