Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Typical jobs in Brockhill include:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Garages being knocked down
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages in a row or block
If you are a landlord with garages near Martins Heron station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
What your quote should include
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Which areas and materials are covered
- The method and controls
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
After the job
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Keeping things safe:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Give us a rough size
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
The process
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In December, it’s dark in Brockhill by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
How to prepare
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions

Your questions about garage roof removal in Brockhill
Do older homes in Brockhill have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Brockhill may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Brockhill from London?
Brockhill is about 27 miles from central London, well within our area.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
