Common questions in Stoke
How far is Stoke from London?
We cover Stoke, about 31 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Stoke?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is generally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- High winds can delay roof work

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Choosing the right option
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Avoid these
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.
What happens
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. Late-December sunset in Stoke is about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
