Asbestos garage roof removal for Parkhurst properties
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Parkhurst is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical materials include cement wall panels, ridge pieces and bargeboards, and people typically contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and carport roofs.
In towns and villages like Parkhurst, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

How we price garage roof removal
Prices vary with:
- Material and condition
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The survey scope
- How much there is
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
What to photograph
For a quick quote, include:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Not sure what you need? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we’ll recommend the right option.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Clear written quotes
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Parkhurst
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Pieces of broken roof
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages in a row or block
Properties near Mill Hill may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together.
What your quote should include

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Questions from Parkhurst
Do you come out to small villages like Parkhurst?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in Parkhurst 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.
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.
Do you work in Parkhurst?
We do: our area includes Parkhurst and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
For businesses and landlords in Parkhurst
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
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.
What happens next
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
