How asbestos garage roof removal works in Mill Hill
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. We often deal with cement gutters, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets, and people usually contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and storm-damaged sheets.
In parts of London like Mill Hill, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Mill Hill: your questions answered
Do you cover Mill Hill and the area around Mill Hill Broadway station?
Yes, we cover Mill Hill and the area towards Mill Hill Broadway station, about 1 mile south-west.
Is asbestos common in Mill Hill homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is normally quick once we are set up.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
