Your options compared
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why people choose us
- Across London and the South East
- Houses, flats and business premises
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Records for your files
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Afterwards
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Re-roofing is normally separate

Hamstead Marshall: your questions answered
Do you cover Hamstead Marshall from London?
Hamstead Marshall is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Kintbury station?
Yes, we cover Hamstead Marshall and the area towards Kintbury station, about 2.4 miles north-west.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Duty holders and landlords in Hamstead Marshall
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Hamstead Marshall must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
For managing agents and freeholders in Hamstead Marshall, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
