Asbestos garage roof removal for Bentley Heath properties
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s storm-damaged sheets and garages due for demolition, we deal with cement wall panels, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In London neighbourhoods like Bentley Heath, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Bentley Heath questions
Do you work in Bentley Heath despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do you work near Potters Bar station?
Yes. Potters Bar station is about 1 mile north of Bentley Heath, and we cover both.
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.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is my garage roof in Bentley Heath asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

Don’ts
