Ashley questions
Do you cover Ashley from London?
Ashley is about 66 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Ashley and the area around Mottisfont & Dunbridge station?
Yes. Mottisfont & Dunbridge station is about 5 miles south-west of Ashley, and we cover both.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Is my garage roof in Ashley asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Ashley
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Whether it’s cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and block garages, we deal with downpipes, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
In towns and villages like Ashley, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Why people call us in Ashley
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Garage conversions
- Garage blocks
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Double garages
Older houses in Ashley, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

- What category of work it is
- Whether VAT is included
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What affects the price in Ashley
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The type of material and its condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The quantity or area
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Where we could park
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Visible markings
- An idea of size
Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Looking after things afterwards
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Avoid these
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
What happens
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. We’ll tell you when we’ve finished and what you’ll receive afterwards. Late-December sunset in Ashley is about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first

- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
