About our asbestos garage roof removal in Fairwarp
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. We often deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and people generally contact us about lean-to roofs and garages due a new roof.
In places like Fairwarp, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

What else we do in Fairwarp
Fairwarp questions
My garage in Fairwarp has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is Fairwarp from London?
We cover Fairwarp, about 34 miles from central London.
What does licensed work mean?
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. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.

- No removal until we know what it is

For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
