About our asbestos garage roof removal in Faberstown
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and carport roofs, involving bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In places like Faberstown, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What we deal with in Faberstown
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
These come up again and again:
- Block garages
- Old, cracked sheets
- Pieces of broken roof
- Carport roofs
Around Quarley Hill, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What to look for in a quote
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
A closer look at the materials
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Covering London and the South East
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Waste paperwork for every removal

How we work

After the job
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Faberstown: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Faberstown homes?
Any home in Faberstown built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Faberstown?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- The type of material and its condition
- Disposal costs
- How easy it is to reach
- The category of work
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- A clear close-up
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- An overall view
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before booking:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
