About our asbestos garage roof removal in Leigh Green
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Leigh Green tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From pieces of broken roof and garage conversions, we cover cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
Rural garages near Leigh Green are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Common questions in Leigh Green
Do you cover small places like Leigh Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Leigh Green from London?
Leigh Green is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area.
How do I know if my garage roof is 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.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- The quantity or area
- Access to the area
