About our asbestos garage roof removal in Toy's Hill
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s concrete-panel garages and single garages, we deal with cement gutters, bargeboards and downpipes and more.
Garages around Toy's Hill are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

FAQs for Toy's Hill
Is asbestos common in Toy's Hill homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Toy's Hill can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Toy's Hill with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Your options compared
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
