About our asbestos garage roof removal in Farlington
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Whether it’s old, cracked sheets and concrete-panel garages, we cover downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards and more.
In Farlington, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Farlington questions
How far is Farlington from London?
We cover Farlington, about 61 miles from central London.
Could my house in Farlington contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Farlington can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
Do you work in Farlington?
Yes. We cover Farlington and the surrounding area as part of Portsmouth. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- How much there is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The survey scope
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- Approximate dimensions
- The parking area
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The access route
Each job is priced individually. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page to get started.
