Asbestos garage roof removal for Maybush properties
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and cement wall panels, and people typically contact us about garages due for demolition and old, cracked sheets.
In a smaller place like Maybush, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Maybush: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do older homes in Maybush have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Maybush may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- The quantity or area
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How easy it is to reach
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Helping us quote
What to photograph:
- A rough size or measurement
- Visible markings
- A photo of the whole area
- Damaged areas
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Looking after things afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
After we’ve finished:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Typical garage roof jobs in Maybush
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Block garages
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages due for demolition
If you let a house with a garage near Redbridge station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
