Asbestos garage roof removal for Whitehall properties
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Whether it’s single and double garage roofs and prefab garages with cement walls, we cover ridge pieces, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Whitehall, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
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.
Common questions in Whitehall
Do older homes in Whitehall have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Whitehall can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in Whitehall usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts

After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.

- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
