What we deal with in South Ascot
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Garages in a row or block
- Garage conversions
- Old, cracked sheets
- Broken sheets after high winds
For rented homes with garages close to Ascot station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Suitable insurance for the work
- If the price includes VAT
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Common questions in South Ascot
How far is South Ascot from London?
We cover South Ascot, about 26 miles from central London.
Do you work near Ascot station?
Yes. Ascot station is about 0.5 miles north-west of South Ascot, and we cover both.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.

Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
