Common questions in Yiewsley
Do you cover Yiewsley and the area around Southall station?
Yes, we cover Yiewsley and the area towards Southall station, about 1.8 miles south.
Is asbestos common in Yiewsley homes?
If your home in Yiewsley was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you cover Yiewsley?
Yes. We cover Yiewsley and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Yiewsley properties
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Common materials are ridge pieces, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and people generally contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and storm-damaged sheets.
In Yiewsley, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- High winds can delay roof work
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why choose us
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Legal disposal, with paperwork

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
