Asbestos garage roof removal for The Chart properties
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include block garages and garages due a new roof, including corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and downpipes.
Rural garages near The Chart are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

How it works
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in The Chart by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

Helpful guides
Your questions about garage roof removal in The Chart
My garage in The Chart has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover The Chart and the area around Hurst Green station?
Yes, we cover The Chart and the area towards Hurst Green station, about 1.6 miles west.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is normally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.

The scope of garage roof removal
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- High winds can delay roof work
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
Which option is right?
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
What you get
- Domestic and commercial work
- No removal until we know what it is
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Accredited laboratory results

Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in The Chart, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
After the job
Share the paperwork with your builder.
After we have finished:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Give us a rough size
- File the waste paperwork
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
