Questions from Temple Fortune
Do you cover Temple Fortune and the area around Brent Cross West station?
Yes, we cover Temple Fortune and the area towards Brent Cross West station, about 1.5 miles south-west.
Could my house in Temple Fortune contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
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.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.

Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Once we’re done:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Avoid these
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
