Duty holders and landlords in Weddington
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Weddington, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What happens next
Share the paperwork with your builder.
A few practical points:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Book your roofer in advance
Things not to do
Never cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

How it works
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, for safety. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. In December, it’s dark in Weddington by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Let us know if something’s broken
Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. 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.
What you get
- Across London and the South East
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
Take a look at how we price jobs and the cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What we deal with in Weddington
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Lean-to roofs
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Pieces of broken roof
For rented homes with garages close to Sandwich station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, clearly stated
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Which areas and materials are covered
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Material and condition
- The category of work

Questions from Weddington
Could my house in Weddington contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Weddington 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.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is normally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
