How asbestos garage roof removal works in North Halling
An old asbestos cement garage roof in North Halling tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. We often deal with ridge pieces, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and people normally contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and roofs to clear before demolition.
Rural garages near North Halling are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Give us a rough size
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
What it might be made of
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.

Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in North Halling, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
North Halling questions
Do you cover North Halling from London?
We cover North Halling, about 25 miles from central London.
Do you cover North Halling and the area around Cuxton station?
Yes. Cuxton station is about 0.9 miles north-east of North Halling, and we cover both.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
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. Photos help us check.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Garages in a row or block
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Older houses in North Halling, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
