DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Wanstead: your questions answered
Do you work near Leytonstone High Road station?
Yes, we cover Wanstead and the area towards Leytonstone High Road station, about 1.4 miles south-west.
Do you work in Wanstead despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Work done to the regulations
See how we price jobs and our cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much there is
- Access to the area
- Material and condition
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- How we’d reach it
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The parking area
- A rough size or measurement
Every job is quoted in writing. Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
