How asbestos garage roof removal works in Charing Hill
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical jobs include single garages and brittle, leaking roofs, including corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
Garages around Charing Hill may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Charing Hill
Do you cover Charing Hill and the area around Charing station?
Yes, we cover Charing Hill and the area towards Charing station, about 0.9 miles south-west.
How far is Charing Hill from London?
Charing Hill is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Charing Hill, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
How it works
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. In December, it’s dark in Charing Hill by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- We remove the sheets carefully
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Warn neighbours if needed

After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
After we have finished:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

How we price garage roof removal
Quotes vary because of:
- How many samples are needed
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Material and condition
- Licensed or non-licensed
The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- The access route
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Labels, if any
- Street parking nearby
Each job is priced individually. To start, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Work done to the regulations
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
