Asbestos garage roof removal near Longcot
Asbestos garage roof removal near Longcot
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement gutters, and people typically contact us about lean-to roofs and block garages.
Garages around Longcot may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

How it works
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Longcot is about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

Longcot questions
Do you cover Longcot from London?
We cover Longcot, about 66 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Longcot have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Longcot may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is typically quick once we’re set up.
How we price garage roof removal
When we quote, we look at:
- The survey scope
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Disposal costs
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- The access route
- An idea of size
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The parking area
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form, and we’ll advise.
What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never cut or break the sheets.
