Asbestos garage roof removal for St Helier properties

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. Typical jobs include garage conversions and concrete-panel garages, including bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.

In London neighbourhoods like St Helier, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

FAQs for St Helier

Can you work in St Helier with London’s parking rules?

We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.

My garage in St Helier has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?

Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.

What happens to the old roof sheets?

They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.

Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?

Usually, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.

How dangerous is asbestos?

Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.

Can the roof be overclad?

Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.

What if asbestos is found during building work?

Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.

Your options compared

Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

DIY and asbestos

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
