Step by step
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In December, it’s dark in Ham by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us the size of the garage and the access
- We plan the access and the waste
- We time it around your roofer
- We take the roof off safely
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Getting ready
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the way to the work area

Asbestos garage roof removal in Ham
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. We often deal with ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards, and typical jobs are concrete-panel garages and garages in a row or block.
In London neighbourhoods like Ham, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

What else we do in Ham
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Once we are done:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Give us a rough size
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Materials we deal with
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Ham must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Ham questions
Do you work in Ham despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Could my house in Ham contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Ham can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Ham?
Yes, Ham is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
- High winds can delay roof work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
