About our asbestos garage roof removal in Hazelwood
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical materials include cement wall panels, ridge pieces and bargeboards, and typical jobs are brittle, leaking roofs and carport roofs.
In towns and villages like Hazelwood, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If your business premises in Hazelwood were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
How we work
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then load the wrapped waste. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. In December, it’s dark in Hazelwood by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare

Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Common materials
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Keeping things safe:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
What to avoid
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.
What we deal with in Hazelwood
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Garage blocks

For rented homes with garages close to Chelsfield station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

FAQs for Hazelwood
Do you cover Hazelwood from London?
We cover Hazelwood, about 14 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Hazelwood typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is generally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
