Asbestos garage roof removal in Chiddingly
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and typical jobs are single and double garage roofs and storm-damaged sheets.
Garages around Chiddingly may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What else we do in Chiddingly
What happens next
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Never cut or break the sheets.
How it works
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, for safety. Parking close by makes the day easier. In December, it’s dark in Chiddingly by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote
- We remove the sheets carefully
- The sheets are wrapped and taken away, and you get the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- Disposal costs
- The quantity or area
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- How we’d reach it
- Damaged areas
- The parking area
- An overall view
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 to get started.

It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Chiddingly: your questions answered
Could my house in Chiddingly contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Chiddingly can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Chiddingly usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you cover Chiddingly?
Yes, we do: our area includes Chiddingly and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Materials we deal with
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
