Asbestos garage roof removal for Stanford Common properties
Many garages built before 2000, in Stanford Common and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. From old, cracked sheets and roofs to clear before demolition, we cover bargeboards, downpipes and cement wall panels and more.
Garages around Stanford Common may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

How it works
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. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing. In December, it’s dark in Stanford Common by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us the size of the garage and the access
- We plan the access and the waste
- We time it around your roofer
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- You get the waste paperwork
How to prepare
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Common questions in Stanford Common
Do you cover small places like Stanford Common?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Stanford Common homes?
Any home in Stanford Common built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How we price garage roof removal
Our quotes take into account:
- Material and condition
- Parking and access charges
- How much there is
- How easy it is to reach
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Approximate dimensions
- The parking area
- Damaged areas
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
DIY and asbestos
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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Give us a rough size
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
