Asbestos garage roof removal in Rise Park
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Rise Park
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. From broken sheets after high winds and garages being knocked down, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and downpipes.
In parts of London like Rise Park, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Doing it yourself?
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.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Choosing the right option
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why us?
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Reports and results you can share

Rise Park questions
Is asbestos common in Rise Park homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Gidea Park station?
Yes. Gidea Park station is about 1.4 miles south-east of Rise Park, and we cover both.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
What happens next
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
A few practical points:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep pets and children inside
- File the waste paperwork
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep weight off the roof.
