Asbestos garage roof removal near Greenhill
FAQs for Greenhill
My garage in Greenhill has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in Greenhill have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

Asbestos garage roof removal for Greenhill properties
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. From garages due for demolition and concrete-panel garages, we cover cement wall panels, bargeboards and downpipes.
Garages around Greenhill 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. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Where asbestos turns up
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Greater London still have them.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Carport roofs
In Greenhill, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.

Cement gutters and downpipes are common.

Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
