Asbestos garage roof removal for Netherne on-the-Hill
Your questions about garage roof removal in Netherne on-the-Hill
Could my house in Netherne on-the-Hill contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Netherne on-the-Hill and the area around Coulsdon South station?
Yes, we cover Netherne on-the-Hill and the area towards Coulsdon South station, about 1.6 miles north.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Netherne on-the-Hill
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical materials include ridge pieces, downpipes and cement gutters, and typical jobs are lean-to roofs and single and double garage roofs.
In parts of London like Netherne on-the-Hill, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Choosing the right option
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
