Asbestos garage roof removal in Ball Hill
Asbestos garage roof removal for Ball Hill properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Ball Hill tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical jobs include carport roofs and double garages, including corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
In a village like Ball Hill, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Ball Hill
Do you cover Ball Hill and the area around Kintbury station?
Yes, we cover Ball Hill and the area towards Kintbury station, about 3.1 miles north-west.
How far is Ball Hill from London?
Ball Hill is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
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.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

A closer look at the materials
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are generally asbestos cement too.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Ball Hill, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Once we’re done:
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Give us a rough size
Avoid these
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
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.
The scope of garage roof removal
The usual limits are:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
