Common questions in Spitalfields
Do you work near London Liverpool Street station?
Yes. London Liverpool Street station is close to the centre of Spitalfields, and we cover the whole area.
Are garage roofs in Spitalfields normally asbestos?

Do you work on commercial premises?

Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.

Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.

Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.

Why people call us in Spitalfields
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Single garages
- Carport roofs
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garage blocks
If the garage opens onto a main road such as the A10 and A1202, tell us about parking and access.
Questions to ask before booking
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What category of work it is
DIY and asbestos
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.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What we do and don’t cover
To be clear about the scope:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
