What else we do in West Silvertown
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Carport roofs
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages due for demolition
- Double garages
If you let a house with a garage near Custom House station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- The scope of the job, in writing
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Common questions in West Silvertown
Is asbestos common in West Silvertown homes?
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 West Silvertown 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.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
