For landlords, agents and businesses
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Uxbridge, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.

FAQs for Uxbridge
Are garage roofs in Uxbridge usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Uxbridge from London?
We cover Uxbridge, about 17 miles from central London.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.

In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, because safety comes first. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. In December, it’s dark in Uxbridge by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
