About our asbestos garage roof removal in Chinbrook
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Whether it’s block garages and garage conversions, we deal with ridge pieces, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
In Chinbrook, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Chinbrook questions
Do older homes in Chinbrook have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you work in Chinbrook with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
How can I get a price?
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 Chinbrook?
We do: our area includes Chinbrook and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Chinbrook must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
What happens
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, then loaded for disposal. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. In December, it’s dark in Chinbrook by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We check it’s asbestos cement
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the way to the work area

We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.

Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The quantity or area
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
