About our asbestos garage roof removal in Peaks Hill
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include storm-damaged sheets and sheet garages, involving downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
In Peaks Hill, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Questions from Peaks Hill
Do you work near Purley station?
Yes, we cover Peaks Hill and the area towards Purley station, about 0.8 miles south-east.
Is asbestos common in Peaks Hill homes?
Any home in Peaks Hill built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Materials, one by one
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
Weighing up your options
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion typically mean removal. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
What you get
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
