How asbestos garage roof removal works in Long Hanborough
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and bargeboards, and people usually contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and broken sheets after high winds.
In a smaller place like Long Hanborough, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is normally simple to plan. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Long Hanborough questions
Do you cover Long Hanborough from London?
Long Hanborough is about 60 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Long Hanborough have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.

Helpful guides
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The type of material and its condition
- How many samples are needed
The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Cracks or breaks
- Visible markings
- Street parking nearby
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749, and we’ll recommend the right option.
After the job
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
After we’ve finished:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Plan the new roof before removal
Don’ts
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Weighing up your options
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion normally mean removal. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
