How asbestos garage roof removal works in Hale End
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. We often deal with cement wall panels, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets, and people normally contact us about old, cracked sheets and lean-tos and carports.
Garages around Hale End 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. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

What else we do in Hale End
For businesses and landlords in Hale End
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
FAQs for Hale End
Do you work in Hale End despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
My garage in Hale End has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is my garage roof in Hale End asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
See our prices page or our cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
