- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Book your roofer in advance
Avoid these
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

Mortimer questions
My garage in Mortimer has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is Mortimer from London?
We cover Mortimer, about 43 miles from central London.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
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 happens
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, because safety comes first. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. In December, it’s dark in Mortimer by about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Describe the garage
- We work out how to reach the roof safely
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- You get the waste paperwork
Getting ready
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Getting a price
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Helpful guides
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.
Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Mortimer were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
