About our asbestos garage roof removal in The Frenches
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 materials include cement wall panels, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are roofs to clear before demolition and garage conversions.
In a village like The Frenches, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

FAQs for The Frenches
Could my house in The Frenches contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station?
Yes, we cover The Frenches and the area towards Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 2.5 miles north.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
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.
What affects the price in The Frenches
We base our quote on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building

- Licensed or non-licensed
