How asbestos garage roof removal works in Well Hill
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Common materials are ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards, and people generally contact us about lean-to roofs and garages due for demolition.
In parts of London like Well Hill, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Well Hill
Could my house in Well Hill contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Well Hill can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Well Hill usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
How we work
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. Late-December sunset in Well Hill is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Well Hill
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Greater London still have them.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages due for demolition
- Garages due a new roof
- Block garages
Properties near The Warren may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What to look for in a quote
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- The scope of the job, in writing
- The documents you will receive
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
