About our asbestos garage roof removal in Coursehorn
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. We often deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are lean-to roofs and concrete-panel garages.
In towns and villages like Coursehorn, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Common questions in Coursehorn
Is asbestos common in Coursehorn homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Coursehorn may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Coursehorn from London?
Coursehorn is about 40 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- How much there is
- The survey scope
- How much waste there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- Cracks or breaks
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Approximate dimensions
Include any existing survey or test when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
