How asbestos garage roof removal works in Woodlands
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include old, cracked sheets and sheet garages, including cement gutters, cement wall panels and downpipes.
In Woodlands, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Woodlands: your questions answered
Could my house in Woodlands contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Woodlands with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.

Should you do it yourself?

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Different materials need a different approach

Roof felt

Weighing up your options
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace.
