Asbestos help in Pound Hill
Your questions about garage roof removal in Pound Hill
Is asbestos common in Pound Hill homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Pound Hill from London?
We cover Pound Hill, about 26 miles from central London.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
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. Send photos and we will advise.

Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
After we have finished in Pound Hill
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Some practical advice:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Book your roofer in advance
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.

What else we do in Pound Hill
Why people call us in Pound Hill
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Block garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garage conversions
If you’re a landlord with garages near Three Bridges station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

We take them down in whole lengths.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
