In towns and villages like Womenswold, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Womenswold questions
Are garage roofs in Womenswold typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How far is Womenswold from London?
We cover Womenswold, about 59 miles from central London.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
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.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
What you get
- Accredited laboratory results
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Written quotes that say what’s included

For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Womenswold were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
What happens
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and nobody else comes near. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
