Asbestos garage roof removal for Fox properties
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. Typical jobs include prefab garages with cement walls and carport roofs, involving corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and ridge pieces.
In a village like Fox, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
How we price garage roof removal
What changes the cost:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Disposal costs
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Street parking nearby
- Cracks or breaks
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A rough size or measurement
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
What we deal with in Fox
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages being knocked down
- Carport roofs
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Broken sheets after high winds
Properties near Quarley Hill may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together.
Before you book anyone
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Whether VAT is included
- How fibres will be kept down
After we have finished in Fox
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let us know where we can park
- Book your roofer in advance
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Fox must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. It helps if we can park nearby. Late-December sunset in Fox is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
