How far is Great Kimble from London?

How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Great Kimble
Many garages built before 2000, in Great Kimble and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Whether it’s storm-damaged sheets and double garages, we cover cement wall panels, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets and more.
Rural garages near Great Kimble are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
The process
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, for safety. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there’s no confusion. In December, it’s dark in Great Kimble by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Keep children and pets away on the day

Typical garage roof jobs in Great Kimble
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Lean-to roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Block garages
In Great Kimble, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Before you book anyone
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- VAT, clearly stated
- Any exclusions
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Which option is right?
Paint or overclad instead? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
