Asbestos garage roof removal for Pyle Hill
Asbestos garage roof removal for Pyle Hill properties
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. People often contact us about garage conversions and garage blocks, involving cement gutters, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
In a village like Pyle Hill, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Pyle Hill questions
How far is Pyle Hill from London?
We cover Pyle Hill, about 25 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Pyle Hill have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Pyle Hill may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Duty holders and landlords in Pyle Hill
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Pyle Hill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. In December, it’s dark in Pyle Hill by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Helpful guides
Which option is right?
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why people choose us
- Clear written quotes
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Accredited laboratory results
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
Read our prices page or our cost guide.
After the job
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
