Asbestos garage roof removal for Lower Swanwick properties
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. From sheet garages and broken sheets after high winds, we cover cement wall panels, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
In a village like Lower Swanwick, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Lower Swanwick questions
How far is Lower Swanwick from London?
Lower Swanwick is about 67 miles from central London, well within our area.
Are garage roofs in Lower Swanwick normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is my garage roof in Lower Swanwick asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Materials, one by one
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are typically asbestos cement too.
After we’ve finished in Lower Swanwick
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
After we have finished:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Tell us about parking and access
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
What to avoid
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Landlords of single homes do not 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
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then load the wrapped waste. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. In December, it’s dark in Lower Swanwick by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
