Asbestos garage roof removal for Red Hill properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Red Hill. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Common materials are ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement gutters, and typical jobs are roofs to clear before demolition and broken sheets after high winds.
In places like Red Hill, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Questions from Red Hill
Could my house in Red Hill contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Red Hill may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Red Hill from London?
Red Hill is about 28 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Looking after things afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
Going forward:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
What to avoid
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Which option is right?
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. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
