Asbestos garage roof removal in Stocker's Head
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Stocker's Head tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. We often deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and downpipes, and typical jobs are old, cracked sheets and garages due for demolition.
Rural garages near Stocker's Head are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Where asbestos turns up

- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garage conversions
- Concrete-panel garages

Stocker's Head: your questions answered
Do you cover Stocker's Head from London?
We cover Stocker's Head, about 44 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Stocker's Head?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.

Don’ts
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
