Asbestos garage roof removal in Iden
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. People often contact us about garages in a row or block and broken sheets after high winds, including corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and ridge pieces.
Rural garages near Iden are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Iden were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

After the job
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Going forward:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Give us a rough size
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What we do and don’t cover
So you know what to expect:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Questions from Iden
Do you cover Iden from London?
Iden is about 51 miles from central London, well within our area.
Are garage roofs in Iden typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. 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. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
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.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
- 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
