How asbestos garage roof removal works in Penwood
Many garages built before 2000, in Penwood and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include old, cracked sheets and storm-damaged sheets, involving ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In a village like Penwood, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Penwood
How far is Penwood from London?
Penwood is about 56 miles from central London, well within our area.
My garage in Penwood has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is my garage roof in Penwood asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
After we’ve finished in Penwood
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Book your roofer in advance
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
What it costs

There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Helping us quote
