Stockwell questions
Do you work near Brixton station?
Yes. Brixton station is about 0.5 miles south-east of Stockwell, and we cover both.
Are garage roofs in Stockwell generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Do you cover Stockwell?
Yes. We cover Stockwell and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
For businesses and landlords in Stockwell
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Stockwell, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Choosing the right option
What about painting or overcladding? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
