Farmoor questions
How far is Farmoor from London?
We cover Farmoor, about 57 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Farmoor normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in Farmoor?
Yes, Farmoor is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is typically quick once we’re set up.

Limits to be aware of
Before you book, note that:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Different materials need a different approach
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Materials in Farmoor
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
Looking after things afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Give us a rough size
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- File the waste paperwork
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
