How asbestos garage roof removal works in Old Warren
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Old Warren is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. From lean-to roofs and garages before a new roof or conversion, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
In a village like Old Warren, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

The process
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. Garage roof removal in Old Warren is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.

Common questions in Old Warren
Do you cover Old Warren from London?
We cover Old Warren, about 45 miles from central London.
My garage in Old Warren has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Is my garage roof in Old Warren asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The size of the job
- How much waste there is
- Access to the area
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Labels, if any
- An overall view
- Approximate dimensions
- Damaged areas
Every job is quoted in writing. Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Choosing the right option
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
