DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Hook Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Hook Green from London?
Hook Green is about 19 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Hook Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos dangerous?
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.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is my garage roof in Hook Green asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
What happens
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then load the wrapped waste. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Hook Green by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Warn neighbours if needed

Materials we deal with

We take them down in whole lengths.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
