Asbestos garage roof removal in Walliswood
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Walliswood
Single, double and block garages, lean-tos and carports in Walliswood all have roofs like these. Tell us the size and send photos. Typical jobs include single and double garage roofs and prefab garages with cement walls, involving downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
Rural garages near Walliswood are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change

- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets

Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Give us a rough size
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Common questions in Walliswood
Do you work near Ockley station?
Yes. Ockley station is about 3.1 miles north-east of Walliswood, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Walliswood?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
