Wimbledon questions
Could my house in Wimbledon contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Wimbledon and the area around Wimbledon station?
Yes. Wimbledon station is close to the centre of Wimbledon, and we cover the whole area.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.

Garages around Wimbledon are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion generally mean removal. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
