Need garage roof removal in Old Tree?
Doing 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.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Old Tree
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. We often deal with cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and people usually contact us about concrete-panel garages and single garages.
In towns and villages like Old Tree, garages are often one of several outbuildings with 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.

Old Tree: your questions answered
How far is Old Tree from London?
We cover Old Tree, about 56 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Old Tree?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Looking after things afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Give us a rough size
Things not to do
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Which option is right?
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you run a business from older premises in Old Tree, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
How it works
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We’ll tell you when we have finished and what you’ll receive afterwards. In December, it’s dark in Old Tree by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
