Asbestos help in Freeland
Where asbestos turns up
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garages being knocked down
- Single garages
- Garage blocks
- Lean-to roofs
In Freeland, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.
Questions to ask before booking
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Asbestos garage roof removal in Freeland
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. People often contact us about garages being knocked down and pieces of broken roof, including cement wall panels, ridge pieces and downpipes.
Rural garages near Freeland are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Freeland: your questions answered
Do you work near Combe station?
Yes, we cover Freeland and the area towards Combe station, about 1.3 miles north.
Do you cover small places like Freeland?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- The category of work
- How much there is
- What the material is and its state
- Parking and access charges
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- A photo of the whole area
- The access route
- An idea of size
- A close-up from a safe distance
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
