South Green: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in South Green normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover small places like South Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Where asbestos turns up
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which need careful clearing.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garages being knocked down
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Block garages
Across South Green, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.

Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
How we work in South Green
- No removal until we know what it is
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Domestic and commercial work
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
See our prices page or the cost guide.
After the job
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Tell us about parking and access
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
What’s included, and what is not
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change

Materials in South Green
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Duty holders and landlords in South Green
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
The process
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In December, it’s dark in South Green by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
