Asbestos garage roof removal for Shooter's Hill
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Shooter's Hill
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. People often contact us about lean-tos and carports and broken sheets after high winds, involving cement wall panels, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
In Shooter's Hill, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

FAQs for Shooter's Hill
Do you cover Shooter's Hill and the area around Falconwood station?
Yes. Falconwood station is about 0.9 miles south-east of Shooter's Hill, and we cover both.
Do you work in Shooter's Hill despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

Typical garage roof jobs in Shooter's Hill
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Block garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Double garages
Across Shooter's Hill, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Before you book anyone
- How fibres will be kept down
- Any exclusions
- Whether VAT is included
- Suitable insurance for the work
After the job
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
A few practical points:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell us about parking and access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
