West Green: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in West Green normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover West Green from London?
We cover West Green, about 26 miles from central London.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
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 dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Typically not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Options to consider in West Green
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
