How asbestos garage roof removal works in Headley
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Headley tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical jobs include double garages and roofs to clear before demolition, involving bargeboards, ridge pieces and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Headley, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Common questions in Headley
Is asbestos common in Headley homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Headley may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Headley from London?
We cover Headley, about 51 miles from central London.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.

What else we do in Headley
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- The category of work
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The survey scope
- Waste quantity and disposal
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What to photograph
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Each job is priced individually. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 to get started.
Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
What you get
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Clear written quotes
- Domestic and commercial work
- Legal disposal, with paperwork

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
