About our asbestos garage roof removal in Snow Hill
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Whether it’s concrete-panel garages and brittle, leaking roofs, we deal with ridge pieces, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
In places like Snow Hill, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
These come up again and again:
- Garages due for demolition
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Concrete-panel garages
- Double garages
Near open spaces such as Hedgecourt Lake, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.

Questions from Snow Hill
How far is Snow Hill from London?
Snow Hill is about 25 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Snow Hill have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
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 one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.

Which option is right?
What about painting or overcladding? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Our guide covers the options. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
After the job
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- File the waste paperwork
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Give us a rough size
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
