We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum. In December, it’s dark in Monks Orchard by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- File the waste paperwork
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

What it might be made of
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Monks Orchard
Can you work in Monks Orchard with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Are garage roofs in Monks Orchard normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
