Asbestos garage roof removal in Barwell
Asbestos garage roof removal near Barwell
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Typical materials include cement gutters, cement wall panels and bargeboards, and people typically contact us about old, cracked sheets and pieces of broken roof.
In parts of London like Barwell, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let us know where we can park
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Typical garage roof jobs in Barwell
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garages due a new roof
- Lean-tos and carports
- Single and double garage roofs
Near open spaces such as Jubilee Wood, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.
Questions to ask before booking
- How fibres will be kept down
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
The process
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, for safety. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. We plan garage roof jobs in Barwell for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Mention any damage before we arrive

Barwell: your questions answered
Could my house in Barwell contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Barwell may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Barwell with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Duty holders and landlords in Barwell
If you manage or own a block in Barwell, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Material and condition
- Travel and parking
- How much waste there is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Helping us quote
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Damaged areas
- An overall view
- Approximate dimensions
Each job is priced individually. To start, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
