How asbestos garage roof removal works in Astwood
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Astwood. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with bargeboards, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and people typically contact us about single and double garage roofs and garages due for demolition.
In areas like Astwood, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Questions from Astwood
Do you cover small places like Astwood?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Astwood from London?
We cover Astwood, about 48 miles from central London.
Is asbestos dangerous?
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.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Usually, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
What you get
- Clear written quotes
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

Typical garage roof jobs in Astwood
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which need careful clearing.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages in a row or block
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
If you let a house with a garage near Kempston Hardwick station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
What to look for in a quote
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Whether the job needs notifying
- If the price includes VAT
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
