Asbestos help in Willingdon
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Willingdon, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you run a business from older premises in Willingdon, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Willingdon
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include prefab garages with cement walls and double garages, involving bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement wall panels.
In areas like Willingdon, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Materials we deal with
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Which option is right?
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

Common questions in Willingdon
Could my house in Willingdon contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Willingdon from London?
Willingdon is about 50 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
