How asbestos garage roof removal works in Little London
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include double garages and garages before a new roof or conversion, including ridge pieces, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets.
Garages around Little London may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

How it works
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there is no confusion. Late-December sunset in Little London is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork

Questions from Little London
Do you come out to small villages like Little London?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Little London contain asbestos?
If your home in Little London was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
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.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Little London
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Garage blocks
- Single and double garage roofs
Around Silent Pool, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Little London, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are typically asbestos cement too.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
