Asbestos garage roof removal near Perham Down
Asbestos garage roof removal for Perham Down properties
Many garages built before 2000, in Perham Down and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include cement wall panels, cement gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and single and double garage roofs.
In towns and villages like Perham Down, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Perham Down were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Perham Down: your questions answered
How far is Perham Down from London?
We cover Perham Down, about 69 miles from central London.
Do you cover Perham Down and the area around Grateley station?
Yes, we cover Perham Down and the area towards Grateley station, about 4.9 miles south.
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, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
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 advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Materials we deal with
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- High winds can delay roof work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
The process
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there’s no confusion. In December, it’s dark in Perham Down by about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us the size of the garage and the access
- We work out how to reach the roof safely
- We time it around your roofer
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- You get the waste paperwork
Before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Tell us about parking and access
- Find any old asbestos reports

Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor.
