How asbestos garage roof removal works in Stoke Row
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Stoke Row. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about garage blocks and garages due a new roof, involving ridge pieces, downpipes and cement gutters.
Garages around Stoke Row may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

The scope of garage roof removal
To be clear about the scope:

Stoke Row questions
Do you cover Stoke Row from London?
Stoke Row is about 40 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Choosing the right option
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion generally mean removal. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What you get
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- No removal until we know what it is
