Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- No removal until we know what it is
- Domestic and commercial work
- Clear advice on your options
See how we quote and published price ranges.
After we’ve finished in Forest Hill
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What’s included, and what is not
The usual limits are:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Forest Hill: your questions answered
My garage in Forest Hill has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you come out to small villages like Forest Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is generally quick once we’re set up.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
