Should you do it yourself?

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Which option is right?
Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Why us?
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Covering London and the South East
- Work done to the regulations
Read our prices page or our cost guide.
Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Duty holders and landlords in Bovingdon Green
If your business premises in Bovingdon Green were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What happens
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. While we work, the area stays out of bounds. In December, it’s dark in Bovingdon Green by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Bovingdon Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Bovingdon Green from London?
Bovingdon Green is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
My garage in Bovingdon Green has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What it might be made of
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
