Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety

Common questions in Lambourn
Do you cover Lambourn from London?
Lambourn is about 62 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Lambourn have asbestos?
If your home in Lambourn was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
How dangerous is asbestos?
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 help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Your options compared
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
