The biggest factors in the price are:
- How many samples are needed
- How much waste there is
- Access to the area

Common questions in Rayners Lane
Do you work near Northolt Park station?
Yes, we cover Rayners Lane and the area towards Northolt Park station, about 1.2 miles south-east.
Are garage roofs in Rayners Lane usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
After the job
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Give us a rough size
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
