Asbestos garage roof removal in Ivybridge
Asbestos garage roof removal for Ivybridge properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From garages due a new roof and single and double garage roofs, we cover corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and ridge pieces.
In parts of London like Ivybridge, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Can I do it myself?
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, so avoid them completely.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Common materials
- Fixings and bolts
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bargeboards
How we work
Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep the area clear of everyone else. 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 Ivybridge by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Describe the garage
- We work out how to reach the roof safely
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- You get the waste paperwork
Getting ready
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Getting a price
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Materials we deal with
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are generally asbestos cement too.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. Our quotes are clear about VAT.

Ivybridge: your questions answered
Could my house in Ivybridge contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Twickenham station?
Yes, we cover Ivybridge and the area towards Twickenham station, about 0.8 miles south-east.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much waste there is
- Travel and parking
- How much there is
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
