Asbestos garage roof removal for Gordon Hill
Asbestos garage roof removal near Gordon Hill
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical jobs include garage blocks and garage conversions, involving cement wall panels, cement gutters and bargeboards.
Garages around Gordon 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. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Gordon Hill: your questions answered
My garage in Gordon Hill has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Could my house in Gordon Hill contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.

Which option is right?
Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.

Typical garage roof jobs in Gordon Hill
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Typical jobs in Gordon Hill include:
- Garages due for demolition
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Carport roofs
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Near open spaces such as Bowyer's Water, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What your quote should include
- VAT, clearly stated
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Any exclusions
Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
The scope of garage roof removal
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- High winds can delay roof work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Common materials
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Gordon Hill must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
