Asbestos garage roof removal in Chart Sutton
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Chart Sutton tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical jobs include broken sheets after high winds and garages due for demolition, involving corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
In a village like Chart Sutton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Step by step
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, then loaded for disposal. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Chart Sutton by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

How we price garage roof removal
What drives the price:
- What the material is and its state
- The quantity or area
- Travel and parking

A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Cracks or breaks
- Labels, if any
- Street parking nearby
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Across Chart Sutton, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.
