Choosing the right option
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Questions from Fairlight
Do you cover Fairlight from London?
Fairlight is about 54 miles from central London, well within our area.
My garage in Fairlight has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

A closer look at the materials
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are generally asbestos cement too.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- How much there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The type of material and its condition
- Location, parking and any London charges
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A rough size or measurement
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
