DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Weighing up your options
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Why people choose us
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Records for your files

Your questions about garage roof removal in Chislet
Do you cover small places like Chislet?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Chislet homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Chislet can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Travel and parking
- The category of work
- Waste quantity and disposal
- What the material is and its state
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Photos that help
For a quick quote, include:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- An idea of size
Every job is quoted in writing. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
