Asbestos garage roof removal in Goose Hill
Asbestos garage roof removal for Goose Hill properties
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical jobs include garage blocks and single garages, including downpipes, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
In a village like Goose Hill, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Weighing up your options
DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

- Tell us the size of the garage and the access
- We work out how to reach the roof safely

Goose Hill questions
Is asbestos common in Goose Hill homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Goose Hill from London?
Goose Hill is about 50 miles from central London, well within our area.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is typically a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
