Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Forty Hill
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Sheet garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Lean-tos and carports
For rented homes with garages close to Turkey Street station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Asbestos garage roof removal for Forty Hill properties
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. People often contact us about garages due a new roof and lean-tos and carports, including ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
In parts of London like Forty Hill, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

FAQs for Forty Hill
Do you work near Turkey Street station?
Yes, we cover Forty Hill and the area towards Turkey Street station, about 1 mile north-east.
My garage in Forty Hill has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you cover Forty Hill?
We do: our area includes Forty Hill and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
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.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Materials, one by one
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
