Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The category of work
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much there is
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Abshot
Do you work near Swanwick station?
Yes, we cover Abshot and the area towards Swanwick station, about 2 miles north.
Do you come out to small villages like Abshot?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.

How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you cover Abshot?
We do: our area includes Abshot and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Why people call us in Abshot

These are some of the things we deal with in Abshot:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages due for demolition
Properties near Holly Hill Woodland Park may have outbuildings as well as a garage.
What your quote should include
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- What paperwork you get
- VAT, clearly stated
Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know where we can park
- File the waste paperwork
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
For businesses and landlords in Abshot

Your options compared
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion generally mean removal. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
