Asbestos garage roof removal in Keeper's Corner
Many garages built before 2000, in Keeper's Corner and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Common materials are ridge pieces, downpipes and cement gutters, and typical jobs are old, cracked sheets and storm-damaged sheets.
In a village like Keeper's Corner, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Materials, one by one
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
What happens
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. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. Late-December sunset in Keeper's Corner is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Common questions in Keeper's Corner
Could my house in Keeper's Corner contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Keeper's Corner from London?
Keeper's Corner is about 24 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Is my garage roof in Keeper's Corner asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- Access to the area
- Disposal costs
- The survey scope
- What the material is and its state
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- Approximate dimensions
- Where we could park
- Cracks or breaks
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Some practical advice:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let neighbours know beforehand
What to avoid
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
