About our asbestos garage roof removal in Stockcross
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We often deal with bargeboards, cement gutters and ridge pieces, and people generally contact us about garage blocks and garages being knocked down.
Rural garages near Stockcross are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Choosing the right option
DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Why choose us
- Records for your files
- No removal until we know what it is
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
Take a look at how we price jobs and the cost guide.
What’s included, and what isn’t
To be clear about the scope:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- High winds can delay roof work
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.

Duty holders and landlords in Stockcross
If you manage or own a block in Stockcross, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Never cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
The process
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then load the wrapped waste. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. In December, it’s dark in Stockcross by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Get in touch with photos
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

Do you come out to small villages like Stockcross?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
