After we have finished in Woodford Wells
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.

- Keep pets and children inside
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Don’ts
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
The process
Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep the area clear of everyone else. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. In December, it’s dark in Woodford Wells by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
How to prepare
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

Questions from Woodford Wells
Do you work near Highams Park station?
Yes. Highams Park station is about 1.5 miles west of Woodford Wells, and we cover both.
My garage in Woodford Wells has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is my garage roof in Woodford Wells asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
