What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
Weighing up your options
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What you get
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Clear written quotes
- Across London and the South East
- Accredited laboratory results

What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- File the waste paperwork
- Give us a rough size
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Oversland must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Common questions in Oversland
How far is Oversland from London?
We cover Oversland, about 48 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Oversland?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
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 asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
