Asbestos garage roof removal in Snagshall
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. From lean-tos and carports and garages being knocked down, we cover cement wall panels, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
Garages around Snagshall may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Snagshall: your questions answered
How far is Snagshall from London?
Snagshall is about 45 miles from central London, well within our area.
My garage in Snagshall has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.

What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
What affects the price in Snagshall
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The type of material and its condition
- Access to the area
- Travel and parking
- The survey scope
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Sending photos
Photo tips:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An idea of size
- Damaged areas
- An overall view
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Records for your files
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
