About our asbestos garage roof removal in Stanford
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. People often contact us about single garages and concrete-panel garages, including ridge pieces, downpipes and cement wall panels.
Rural garages near Stanford are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
What affects the price in Stanford
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- How much waste there is
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- Labels, if any
- A rough size or measurement
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The parking area
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.

Questions from Stanford
Do you cover Stanford from London?
Stanford is about 56 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Stanford?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Is my garage roof in Stanford asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
The process
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In December, it’s dark in Stanford by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
