Asbestos garage roof removal in Rake
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. We often deal with cement gutters, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and people generally contact us about sheet garages and block garages.
Garages around Rake may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We only recommend work that is needed.

For businesses and landlords in Rake
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Step by step
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Rake is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Getting ready
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

What affects the price in Rake
The biggest factors in the price are:

Rake: your questions answered
Do you cover Rake from London?
We cover Rake, about 45 miles from central London.
My garage in Rake 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.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Places near Rake
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
After we have finished:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep weight off the roof.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
