FAQs for Sunbury-on-Thames
Could my house in Sunbury-on-Thames contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Sunbury-on-Thames may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Sunbury-on-Thames from London?
Sunbury-on-Thames is about 15 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.

How asbestos garage roof removal works in Sunbury-on-Thames
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. From roofs to clear before demolition and garage blocks, we cover downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In a town like Sunbury-on-Thames, garages built with houses from the post-war decades to the 1990s often have cement sheet roofs, which are now brittle with age. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
