Asbestos garage roof removal near Russell's Green
Asbestos garage roof removal in Russell's Green
Many garages built before 2000, in Russell's Green and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. We often deal with ridge pieces, cement wall panels and cement gutters, and typical jobs are roofs to clear before demolition and garages due a new roof.
In places like Russell's Green, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Russell's Green questions
Are garage roofs in Russell's Green generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Cooden Beach station?
Yes, we cover Russell's Green and the area towards Cooden Beach station, about 2.9 miles south.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Is my garage roof in Russell's Green asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What happens
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing. Late-December sunset in Russell's Green is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Find any old asbestos reports
