Your questions about garage roof removal in Mockbeggar
My garage in Mockbeggar has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Mockbeggar from London?
We cover Mockbeggar, about 26 miles from central London.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.

To get a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
Afterwards

To avoid problems in future:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
What to avoid

Keep weight off the roof.
Materials we deal with

The process
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. We plan garage roof jobs in Mockbeggar for daylight: sunset is about 3:50pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there

For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Mockbeggar were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
