FAQs for Gun Hill
My garage in Gun Hill has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How far is Gun Hill from London?
We cover Gun Hill, about 43 miles from central London.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
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 remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.

Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are normally asbestos cement too.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Duty holders and landlords in Gun Hill
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
In older properties, we often see:
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Pieces of broken roof
Around Selwyns Wood, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Any exclusions
- If the price includes VAT
What happens next
We clear up and check for fragments.
To avoid problems in future:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
Avoid these
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep weight off the roof.
