Asbestos garage roof removal in Farley Wood
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical materials include cement wall panels, ridge pieces and downpipes, and typical jobs are block garages and single garages.
In a smaller place like Farley Wood, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Farley Wood
Are garage roofs in Farley Wood generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Could my house in Farley Wood contain asbestos?
If your home in Farley Wood was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Do you cover Farley Wood?
Yes, Farley Wood is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The survey scope
- What the material is and its state
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A rough size or measurement
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An overall view
- Labels, if any
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
After we’ve finished:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- File the waste paperwork
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Step by step
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. We plan garage roof jobs in Farley Wood for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We check it’s asbestos cement
- We quote for the removal and disposal

- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Before we arrive

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Responsibilities for owners
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.
