What affects the price in Loose
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much waste there is
- The size of the job
- How many samples are needed
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A picture of the whole area
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An idea of size
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Loose questions
Do you cover Loose and the area around East Farleigh station?
Yes. East Farleigh station is about 1.8 miles north-west of Loose, and we cover both.
Are garage roofs in Loose typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

For businesses and landlords in Loose
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
The process
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Parking close by makes the day easier. Late-December sunset in Loose is about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
How to prepare
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Why people call us in Loose
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Garages in a row or block
- Garage conversions
- Single and double garage roofs
- Lean-tos and carports
For rented homes with garages close to East Farleigh station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
What to look for in a quote
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Suitable insurance for the work
Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
