How asbestos garage roof removal works in Ladywell

Garages around Ladywell are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

After we have finished in Ladywell
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Going forward:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
The process
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. Late-December sunset in Ladywell is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Common questions in Ladywell
Could my house in Ladywell contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ladywell may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in Ladywell typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are usually asbestos cement too.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
What affects the price in Ladywell
What drives the price:
- The type of material and its condition
- How many samples are needed
- Disposal costs
- Licensed or non-licensed
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Cracks or breaks
- Where we could park
- How we’d reach it
- An idea of size
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Ladywell
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Concrete-panel garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Lean-to roofs
Across Ladywell, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
What your quote should include
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Any exclusions
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Limits to be aware of
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see
- Roof felt
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
