Asbestos garage roof removal near The Stocks
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical materials include ridge pieces, cement gutters and bargeboards, and people generally contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and concrete-panel garages.
In a village like The Stocks, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Your questions about garage roof removal in The Stocks
Do you cover small places like The Stocks?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in The Stocks have asbestos?
Any home in The Stocks built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Generally not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
For businesses and landlords in The Stocks
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
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.
Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
How we price garage roof removal
Prices vary with:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much there is
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Labels, if any
- The parking area
- Cracks or breaks
For a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
Afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep weight off the roof.
Your options compared

Why people choose us
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

Take a look at our prices page and our cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
