Questions from Tokyngton
Do you work in Tokyngton despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Are garage roofs in Tokyngton normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you work in Tokyngton?
Yes. We cover Tokyngton and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.

If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
