Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why people choose us
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Covering London and the South East
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

Should you do it yourself?

You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Block garages
- Double garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
Garages on busy roads like the B3400 need loading planned in advance.

Questions from Whitchurch
Is asbestos common in Whitchurch homes?
If your home in Whitchurch was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Whitchurch from London?
Whitchurch is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is typically a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
