How asbestos garage roof removal works in Cote
Many garages built before 2000, in Cote and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. We often deal with cement wall panels, cement gutters and bargeboards, and people generally contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and garage blocks.
Rural garages near Cote are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What else we do in Cote
Duty holders and landlords in Cote
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Cote, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
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.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Which option is right?
What about painting or overcladding? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. Our guide covers the options. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
What you get
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Across London and the South East
- Reports and results you can share
See how we quote or the cost guide.

FAQs for Cote
Do you cover Cote from London?
We cover Cote, about 47 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Cote generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you cover Cote?
We do: our area includes Cote and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
