Your questions about garage roof removal in Colden Common
Do you cover Colden Common from London?
Colden Common is about 63 miles from central London, well within our area.
Are garage roofs in Colden Common usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Where asbestos turns up
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Carport roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Garages in a row or block
- Old, cracked sheets
If you let a house with a garage near Shawford station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
What to look for in a quote
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- What paperwork you get
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Any exclusions
Looking after things afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- File the waste paperwork
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Keep weight off the roof.
