Asbestos garage roof removal for Kevington
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Kevington
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical jobs include garages before a new roof or conversion and brittle, leaking roofs, including downpipes, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In London neighbourhoods like Kevington, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Before booking anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- What paperwork you get
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
After the job
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
Some practical advice:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let us know where we can park
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Materials we deal with
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- The quantity or area
- The survey scope
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Parking and access charges
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A rough size or measurement
- The parking area
- The access route
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces

Usually, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
