In parts of London like West Kensington, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Common questions in West Kensington
Do you work in West Kensington despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near Kensington Olympia station?
Yes, we cover West Kensington and the area towards Kensington Olympia station, about 0.5 miles north.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
What happens
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Late-December sunset in West Kensington is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
