How asbestos garage roof removal works in Littleworth
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Littleworth. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and garages due a new roof, including cement wall panels, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
In a village like Littleworth, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Littleworth
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
These are some of the things we deal with in Littleworth:
- Garages due for demolition
- Lean-to roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garage blocks
Around Shotover, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores.

Duty holders and landlords in Littleworth
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you run a business from older premises in Littleworth, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What happens next
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep the consignment note afterwards

Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep weight off the roof.

Littleworth questions
How far is Littleworth from London?
Littleworth is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Littleworth homes?
Any home in Littleworth built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.

Other services in Littleworth
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
What it might be made of
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- The category of work
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The survey scope
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- An idea of size
- Street parking nearby
- How we’d reach it
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.

- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
