DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Common questions in Russ Hill
Do you cover Russ Hill and the area around Ifield station?
Yes. Ifield station is about 2.6 miles south-east of Russ Hill, and we cover both.
Do you cover Russ Hill from London?
Russ Hill is about 25 miles from central London, well within our area.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
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.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.

Options to consider in Russ Hill
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why choose us
- Reports and results you can share
- Clear written quotes
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
See how we price jobs or our cost guide.
After we have finished in Russ Hill
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- File the waste paperwork
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
What to avoid
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
