You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Whether it’s storm-damaged sheets and single and double garage roofs, we deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and downpipes.
Garages around Clay Hill are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Clay Hill: your questions answered
Do you cover Clay Hill and the area around Gordon Hill station?
Yes. Gordon Hill station is about 0.8 miles south-west of Clay Hill, and we cover both.
Can you work in Clay Hill with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
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.
Could my home contain 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 should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
For businesses and landlords in Clay Hill
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
