How asbestos garage roof removal works in Maids Moreton
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Common materials are cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes, and typical jobs are block garages and broken sheets after high winds.
Rural garages near Maids Moreton are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

For businesses and landlords in Maids Moreton
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Maids Moreton, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
The process
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. Garage roof removal in Maids Moreton is planned around daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:25pm in June.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork

Weighing up your options
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Clear advice on your options
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Covering London and the South East
Read our prices page and published price ranges.
What we do and do not cover
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Access to the area
- How many samples are needed
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The parking area
- Cracks or breaks
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A photo of the whole area

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Maids Moreton: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Maids Moreton normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How far is Maids Moreton from London?
We cover Maids Moreton, about 52 miles from central London.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work in Maids Moreton?
Yes, Maids Moreton is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Maids Moreton
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Sheet garages
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garage blocks
- Carport roofs
Older houses in Maids Moreton, near Church of St Edmund or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.
