How asbestos garage roof removal works in Streatley
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical jobs include cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and storm-damaged sheets, involving ridge pieces, cement wall panels and cement gutters.
Garages around Streatley may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

After we’ve finished in Streatley
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

Helpful guides
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Streatley, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How easy it is to reach
- Disposal costs
- What the material is and its state
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Sending photos
Helpful photos:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Labels, if any
- An overall view
- Approximate dimensions
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form to get started.

Streatley: your questions answered
Could my house in Streatley contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Streatley from London?
We cover Streatley, about 45 miles from central London.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.

Choosing the right option
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
