Asbestos garage roof removal near Longstock
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Longstock tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical materials include cement wall panels, cement gutters and bargeboards, and people typically contact us about carport roofs and double garages.
In towns and villages like Longstock, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

For businesses and landlords in Longstock
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- Access to the area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The quantity or area
- Licensed or non-licensed
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Photos that help

Longstock: your questions answered
Do you cover Longstock from London?
Longstock is about 65 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Longstock?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

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.
Is my garage roof in Longstock asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
How we work
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion. Late-December sunset in Longstock is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Getting ready
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Limits to be aware of
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials

- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Materials, one by one
Gutters and downpipes

Which option is right?
DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
