Helpful guides
Curbridge: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Curbridge generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is Curbridge from London?
We cover Curbridge, about 64 miles from central London.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

After we’ve finished in Curbridge
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Going forward:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Plan the new roof before removal
- File the waste paperwork
- Give us a rough size
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Curbridge
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Garage blocks
- Garage conversions
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages due for demolition
Older houses in Curbridge, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Questions to ask before booking
- What isn’t included
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Suitable insurance for the work
- If the price includes VAT
For businesses and landlords in Curbridge
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
