FAQs for Caring
Is asbestos common in Caring homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Caring can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Caring from London?
Caring is about 34 miles from central London, well within our area.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Caring
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Caring tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical materials include cement wall panels, ridge pieces and bargeboards, and typical jobs are roofs to clear before demolition and garages in a row or block.
In areas like Caring, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- What the material is and its state
- Travel and parking
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed

A closer look at the materials
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Caring
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
In older properties, we often see:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Single and double garage roofs
- Prefab garages with cement walls
Older houses in Caring, near St Nicholas's Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.

What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep pets and children inside
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
