Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- The type of material and its condition
- The category of work
- Parking and access charges
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Approximate dimensions
- Cracks or breaks
- Where we could park
- Visible markings
You will get a written quote. Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Balls Green
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages being knocked down
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Prefab garages with cement walls
Older houses in Balls Green, near The church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.
What to look for in a quote
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples

Balls Green questions
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Balls Green from London?
Balls Green is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Going forward:
- Give us a rough size
