About our asbestos garage roof removal in Sayers Common
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. We often deal with bargeboards, cement gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are broken sheets after high winds and garages being knocked down.
In a village like Sayers Common, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Materials we deal with
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
How we work
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. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Sayers Common by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Find any old asbestos reports

Choosing the right option

Why choose us
- Records for your files
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

FAQs for Sayers Common
Do older homes in Sayers Common have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Sayers Common may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Sayers Common has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Re-roofing is normally separate
