Asbestos garage roof removal in Russell Hill
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Russell Hill
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. We often deal with cement wall panels, downpipes and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garage blocks and sheet garages.
Garages around Russell Hill are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Common questions in Russell Hill
Do you cover Russell Hill and the area around Waddon station?
Yes, we cover Russell Hill and the area towards Waddon station, about 1 mile north.
Is asbestos common in Russell Hill homes?
If your home in Russell Hill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is typically a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Avoid these
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

Paint or overclad instead? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
