Asbestos garage roof removal near Blacknest
Blacknest: your questions answered
Do you cover Blacknest from London?
Blacknest is about 24 miles from central London, well within our area.
My garage in Blacknest 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.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Blacknest
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. We often deal with ridge pieces, cement gutters and cement wall panels, and people usually contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and lean-to roofs.
In towns and villages like Blacknest, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

What it might be made of

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Blacknest must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Things not to do
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
