Asbestos garage roof removal near Fernhill
Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Once we’re done:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let us know where we can park
- File the waste paperwork
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Fernhill
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. We often deal with cement gutters, bargeboards and downpipes, and people typically contact us about single garages and garages due for demolition.
In a village like Fernhill, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

What we deal with in Fernhill
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garages due a new roof
- Pieces of broken roof
- Double garages
- Lean-tos and carports
Across Fernhill, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

Places near Fernhill
Common questions in Fernhill
Do older homes in Fernhill have asbestos?
Any home in Fernhill built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Fernhill from London?
Fernhill is about 24 miles from central London, well within our area.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
