About our asbestos garage roof removal in Northbrook
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include lean-tos and carports and block garages, involving cement gutters, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
In a village like Northbrook, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

For businesses and landlords in Northbrook
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Northbrook
Could my house in Northbrook contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Northbrook can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Northbrook from London?
We cover Northbrook, about 56 miles from central London.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you quote from photos?
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?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Can you remove the whole garage?
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.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep pets and children inside
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- File the waste paperwork
What to avoid
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Northbrook
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Garages due a new roof
- Double garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
In Northbrook, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- The method and controls
- Any exclusions
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion normally mean removal. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
