About our asbestos garage roof removal in Freefolk
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include roofs to clear before demolition and lean-to roofs, involving cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
In a village like Freefolk, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

How far is Freefolk from London?
Freefolk is about 55 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Freefolk?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is normally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Do you work in Freefolk?
Yes, Freefolk is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
What we do and do not cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job

Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
