For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Never cut or break the sheets.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Monken Hadley
Do you cover Monken Hadley and the area around Hadley Wood station?
Yes. Hadley Wood station is about 1 mile north-east of Monken Hadley, and we cover both.
Could my house in Monken Hadley contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Monken Hadley may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is typically a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Greater London.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Concrete-panel garages
- Double garages
- Garages due a new roof
Near open spaces such as Hadley Green, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
