Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Temple Fortune must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Temple Fortune: your questions answered
Do older homes in Temple Fortune have asbestos?
Any home in Temple Fortune built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Temple Fortune with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What’s included, and what is not
Before booking, note that:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Making good is normally a separate job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Why people call us in Temple Fortune
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Artex before plastering
- Garage roofs and whole garages
For properties on main roads such as the A598, we plan parking and loading in advance.
What to look for in a quote
- The documents you’ll receive
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Whether the job needs notifying
Choosing the right option
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why people choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Covering London and the South East
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Houses, flats and business premises
