Asbestos garage roof removal in Clapper Hill
Asbestos garage roof removal for Clapper Hill properties
Many garages built before 2000, in Clapper Hill and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Whether it’s pieces of broken roof and block garages, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and downpipes and more.

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you run a business from older premises in Clapper Hill, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
How it works
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In December, it’s dark in Clapper Hill by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Materials, one by one
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Don’ts
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
Why people choose us
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- No removal until we know what it is

Common questions in Clapper Hill
My garage in Clapper Hill has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do older homes in Clapper Hill have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
