Asbestos garage roof removal in Boyden Gate
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Whether it’s garages in a row or block and brittle, leaking roofs, we cover downpipes, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
In a village like Boyden Gate, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Step by step
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. In December, it’s dark in Boyden Gate by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork

Boyden Gate: your questions answered
How far is Boyden Gate from London?
We cover Boyden Gate, about 56 miles from central London.
My garage in Boyden Gate has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Boyden Gate?
Yes, we do: our area includes Boyden Gate and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How much waste there is
- Travel and parking
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Material and condition
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Helping us quote
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A photo of the whole area
- Visible markings

A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Going forward:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let us know where we can park
- File the waste paperwork
- Let neighbours know beforehand
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
