Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Common questions in Speed Gate
Are garage roofs in Speed Gate generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do older homes in Speed Gate have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is my garage roof in Speed Gate asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Common materials
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
