Asbestos garage roof removal in Cothill
Many garages built before 2000, in Cothill and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are broken sheets after high winds and block garages.
In areas like Cothill, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Cothill
Do you cover Cothill from London?
We cover Cothill, about 55 miles from central London.
My garage in Cothill has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
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?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Duty holders and landlords in Cothill
If you manage or own a block in Cothill, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.

- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
What happens
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Parking close by makes the day easier. Garage roof removal in Cothill is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.

What changes the cost:
- Material and condition
- The quantity or area

Options to consider in Cothill
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Clear written quotes
- No removal until we know what it is
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
A few practical points:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Avoid these
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
