Why people call us in Puddle Dock
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages in a row or block
- Garages due for demolition
- Garage conversions
Near open spaces such as Cranham Brickfields, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Comparing quotes
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples

Weighing up your options
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Once we’re done:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Book your roofer in advance
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep weight off the roof.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before you book:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we deal with
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
Questions from Puddle Dock
Can you work in Puddle Dock with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Are garage roofs in Puddle Dock typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
