How asbestos garage roof removal works in Sutton Valence
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Whether it’s garages before a new roof or conversion and broken sheets after high winds, we cover cement wall panels, bargeboards and ridge pieces and more.
Rural garages near Sutton Valence are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
How we work
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. In December, it’s dark in Sutton Valence by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us the size of the garage and the access
- We plan the access and the waste
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We take the roof off safely
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Move things out of the way carefully

Duty holders and landlords in Sutton Valence

Common questions in Sutton Valence
Could my house in Sutton Valence contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Sutton Valence from London?
We cover Sutton Valence, about 36 miles from central London.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
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.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- What the material is and its state
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The size of the job
- Disposal costs
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- An overall view
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The access route
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
