FAQs for Sutton
Do you cover Sutton from London?
We cover Sutton, about 46 miles from central London.
My garage in Sutton has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
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.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
After the job
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
Some practical advice:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
What to avoid
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
What we deal with in Sutton
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Garages due for demolition
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages in a row or block
- Pieces of broken roof
For rented homes with garages close to Amberley station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
