Asbestos garage roof removal in Chilson
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. We often deal with bargeboards, downpipes and cement wall panels, and people normally contact us about block garages and broken sheets after high winds.
Rural garages near Chilson are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Chilson: your questions answered
How far is Chilson from London?
Chilson is about 67 miles from central London, well within our area.
My garage in Chilson has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How we price garage roof removal
What drives the price:
- The category of work
- Disposal costs
- How easy it is to reach
- The survey scope
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The access route
- Labels, if any
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- An overall view
You’ll get a written quote. Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 with the details.
What happens
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. In December, it’s dark in Chilson by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Helpful guides
What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Chilson, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Carport roofs
- Single and double garage roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Across Chilson, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
What to look for in a quote
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- The documents you will receive
- What isn’t included
After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Keeping things safe:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
What it might be made of
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
