A closer look at the materials
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

Weighing up your options
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion generally mean removal. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why choose us
- Covering London and the South East
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- No removal until we know what it is

Your questions about garage roof removal in Hooe Common
Could my house in Hooe Common contain asbestos?
If your home in Hooe Common was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Hooe Common?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
