Pipsden questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Pipsden from London?
Pipsden is about 41 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Should all asbestos be removed?
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.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Pipsden
Many garages built before 2000, in Pipsden 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. From garages being knocked down and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels and more.
Garages around Pipsden may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- The size of the job
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The type of material and its condition
- How much waste there is
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Approximate dimensions
