Should you do it yourself?

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

What we do and do not cover

Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:

  • High winds can delay roof work
  • Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

World's End questions

My garage in World's End has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?

Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.

Do you work near Imperial Wharf station?

Yes. Imperial Wharf station is about 0.5 miles south of World's End, and we cover both.

How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?

Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

Will I get the price in writing?

Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.

Do you take down the walls too?

Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.

Duty holders and landlords in World's End

For managing agents and freeholders in World's End, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Afterwards

Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.

Looking after any asbestos that remains:

  • Measure or estimate the size of the roof
  • Tell us about parking and access
  • Let neighbours know beforehand
  • Keep pets and children inside

Things not to do

Keep weight off the roof.

If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.

Helpful guides

Where asbestos turns up

Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:

  • Garages in a row or block
  • Garages before a new roof or conversion
  • Single and double garage roofs
  • Roofs to clear before demolition

Properties near Battersea Park Lake may have outbuildings as well as a garage.

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether VAT is included
  • How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
  • Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
  • For licensed work, a valid HSE licence

How to choose an asbestos contractor

  • Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
  • Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
  • Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
  • Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
