Asbestos garage roof removal in Gants Hill
If you are not sure your garage roof in Gants Hill is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Whether it’s garage blocks and pieces of broken roof, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and downpipes and more.
Garages around Gants Hill are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Common questions in Gants Hill
Are garage roofs in Gants Hill generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work in Gants Hill despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do you work in Gants Hill?
Yes, Gants Hill is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Which option is right?
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why us?
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Domestic and commercial work

Looking after things afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Going forward:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Give us a rough size
Don’ts
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
