About our asbestos garage roof removal in Childrey
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Whether it’s garage conversions and roofs to clear before demolition, we deal with cement wall panels, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In areas like Childrey, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Helpful guides
Options to consider in Childrey
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Why people choose us
- Across London and the South East
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Clear written quotes
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How much waste there is
- The survey scope
- Parking and access charges
- What the material is and its state
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Visible markings
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep pets and children inside
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Keep weight off the roof.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Childrey
Do you cover Childrey from London?
Childrey is about 60 miles from central London, well within our area.
My garage in Childrey has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
