Asbestos garage roof removal in Horton
Many garages built before 2000, in Horton 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. Typical materials include ridge pieces, cement gutters and cement wall panels, and people usually contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and garages due for demolition.
In a village like Horton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Prices and what affects them

- The category of work
- Travel and parking
- The type of material and its condition

- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Street parking nearby
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A rough size or measurement
Send us the address in Horton, a description and some photos: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749, and we’ll reply with a quote.
After we’ve finished in Horton
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
To avoid problems in future:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Book your roofer in advance
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

Common questions in Horton
Are garage roofs in Horton typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Horton and the area around Sunnymeads station?
Yes. Sunnymeads station is about 1 mile west of Horton, and we cover both.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
