How asbestos garage roof removal works in Spring Vale
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. We often deal with ridge pieces, cement gutters and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are carport roofs and garages before a new roof or conversion.
In places like Spring Vale, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Spring Vale
Do you work near Ryde St Johns Road station?
Yes, we cover Spring Vale and the area towards Ryde St Johns Road station, about 1.4 miles west.
Do you come out to small villages like Spring Vale?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Is my garage roof in Spring Vale asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- Access to the area
- Material and condition
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much waste there is
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- The parking area
- Labels, if any
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A close-up from a safe distance
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
After the job
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
