Questions from Etchingwood
How far is Etchingwood from London?
We cover Etchingwood, about 37 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Do you work in Etchingwood?
We do: our area includes Etchingwood and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Etchingwood
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Etchingwood tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical jobs include single garages and garages before a new roof or conversion, involving downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In places like Etchingwood, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

For businesses and landlords in Etchingwood
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

The process
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In December, it’s dark in Etchingwood by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Before we arrive
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
