About our asbestos garage roof removal in Studdal
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Whether it’s block garages and storm-damaged sheets, we cover ridge pieces, downpipes and cement gutters.
In a village like Studdal, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
FAQs for Studdal
How far is Studdal from London?
Studdal is about 64 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Studdal contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Your options compared
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

The process
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on. In December, it’s dark in Studdal by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Getting ready
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
Getting a price
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
