How asbestos garage roof removal works in Windmill Hill
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Whether it’s storm-damaged sheets and double garages, we deal with ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters.
In places like Windmill Hill, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Duty holders and landlords in Windmill Hill
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Windmill Hill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Common questions in Windmill Hill
Do you cover Windmill Hill from London?
We cover Windmill Hill, about 21 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Windmill Hill have asbestos?
Any home in Windmill Hill built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
The process
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there’s no confusion. We plan garage roof jobs in Windmill Hill for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.

After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Keeping things safe:
- Give us a rough size
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep weight off the roof.
Your options compared
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
