Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
How it works
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and keep the area clear of everyone else. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum. Garage roof removal in Britwell is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.
- 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
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note

Typical garage roof jobs in Britwell
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Garages due for demolition
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Older houses in Britwell, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Britwell questions
Do you cover Britwell and the area around Burnham station?
Yes. Burnham station is about 1.2 miles south-west of Britwell, and we cover both.
Do you cover Britwell from London?
Britwell is about 23 miles from central London, well within our area.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
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.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Choosing the right option
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
