Asbestos garage roof removal for Underhill properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. People often contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and garages being knocked down, involving bargeboards, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets.
In Underhill, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Questions from Underhill
My garage in Underhill 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.
Do you work in Underhill despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- Material and condition
- Parking and access charges
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Cracks or breaks
- A photo of the whole area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Not sure what you need? Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form and describe the problem, and we will recommend the right option.
After we have finished in Underhill
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Keeping things safe:
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan the new roof before removal
- File the waste paperwork
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
