Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
FAQs for Farnborough
Do older homes in Farnborough have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Farnborough may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Farnborough Main station?
Yes. Farnborough Main station is about 0.5 miles east of Farnborough, and we cover both.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
