Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Peaslake, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Peaslake

Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are generally asbestos cement too.
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is usually a short job, though access and condition affect it.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes

Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Why us?
- Covering London and the South East
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Identify first, remove only when needed
Take a look at how we quote and published price ranges.
Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
To avoid problems in future:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- File the waste paperwork
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
What affects the price in Peaslake
What drives the price:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed

- Parking and access charges

A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
