How asbestos garage roof removal works in Mott's Mill
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about storm-damaged sheets and block garages, involving cement wall panels, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets.
In a village like Mott's Mill, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
The process
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, for safety. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum. Late-December sunset in Mott's Mill is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Why people choose us
- Across London and the South East
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- No removal until we know what it is
- Clear written quotes

Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Ridge pieces
Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep pets and children inside
- Give us a rough size
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
How we price garage roof removal

- The type of material and its condition

FAQs for Mott's Mill
Could my house in Mott's Mill contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Mott's Mill may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Mott's Mill from London?
We cover Mott's Mill, about 30 miles from central London.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
