How asbestos garage roof removal works in Letcombe Bassett
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Whether it’s old, cracked sheets and garages in a row or block, we cover corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement wall panels and more.
In areas like Letcombe Bassett, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

FAQs for Letcombe Bassett
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover small places like Letcombe Bassett?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The survey scope
- The type of material and its condition
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- An idea of size
- The access route
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Where we could park
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
