How it works
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Westridge by about 4:00pm, 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
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Getting ready
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully

Helpful guides
FAQs for Westridge
Are garage roofs in Westridge generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you come out to small villages like Westridge?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is generally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
After we have finished in Westridge
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
After we’ve finished:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Book your roofer in advance
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.

DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why choose us
- Across London and the South East
- Reports and results you can share
- Work done to the regulations
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
See how we quote and the cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
What’s included, and what isn’t
To be clear about the scope:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
