The process
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. Garage roof removal in Ifieldwood is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- 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
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

Duty holders and landlords in Ifieldwood
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Ifieldwood: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Ifieldwood?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Ifieldwood from London?
Ifieldwood is about 26 miles from central London, well within our area.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
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.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
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.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Options to consider in Ifieldwood
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why us?
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- No removal until we know what it is
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Quotes that spell out the scope
Take a look at our prices page or our cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
