About our asbestos garage roof removal in Broadstone
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From garages due for demolition and single garages, we deal with cement wall panels, cement gutters and bargeboards.
Rural garages near Broadstone are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

- What isn’t included
Duty holders and landlords in Broadstone
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Broadstone must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What you get
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

Common questions in Broadstone
Are garage roofs in Broadstone generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Broadstone from London?
We cover Broadstone, about 39 miles from central London.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
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; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
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.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
