A closer look at the materials
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Colliers Wood: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Colliers Wood usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you work in Colliers Wood with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Typically not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
