Your questions about garage roof removal in East Chiltington
Are garage roofs in East Chiltington normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is East Chiltington from London?
We cover East Chiltington, about 40 miles from central London.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
How can I get a price?

Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
