Asbestos garage roof removal for Nettlebed properties
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From garages being knocked down and garage conversions, we cover bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels and more.
In a village like Nettlebed, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Typical garage roof jobs in Nettlebed
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garages being knocked down
- Lean-to roofs
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Older houses in Nettlebed, near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.

Helpful guides
Nettlebed: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Nettlebed?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Nettlebed from London?
We cover Nettlebed, about 39 miles from central London.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Do you cover Nettlebed?
Yes, we do: our area includes Nettlebed and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
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.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Looking after things afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- File the waste paperwork
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Different materials need a different approach
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How easy it is to reach
- Disposal costs
- Material and condition
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The parking area
- An overall view
- Visible markings
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
