How asbestos garage roof removal works in Nettlestead
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Nettlestead is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Typical materials include cement wall panels, cement gutters and ridge pieces, and people typically contact us about broken sheets after high winds and old, cracked sheets.
Garages around Nettlestead may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
What we deal with in Nettlestead

Nettlestead questions
My garage in Nettlestead has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Nettlestead from London?
Nettlestead is about 28 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is my garage roof in Nettlestead asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.

Afterwards

If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Keep weight off the roof.

Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What you get
- Clear advice on your options
- Work done to the regulations
- Reports and results you can share
