About our asbestos garage roof removal in Cox Green
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. Whether it’s old, cracked sheets and garages due a new roof, we deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and bargeboards and more.
In areas like Cox Green, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

FAQs for Cox Green
Is asbestos common in Cox Green homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Cox Green from London?
We cover Cox Green, about 28 miles from central London.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- The type of material and its condition
- The survey scope
- How much waste there is
- Access to the area
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- The access route
- An idea of size
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Don’ts
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Block garages
- Garage conversions
- Old, cracked sheets
Across Cox Green, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Why us?
- Records for your files
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing

For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
