Asbestos help in Tickham
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Tickham
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Typical jobs include pieces of broken roof and concrete-panel garages, including cement wall panels, downpipes and cement gutters.
In a village like Tickham, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Other services in Tickham
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
To avoid problems in future:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- File the waste paperwork
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Disposal costs
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Material and condition
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- An idea of size
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Visible markings
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749, and we’ll recommend the right option.
Tickham: your questions answered
My garage in Tickham has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How far is Tickham from London?
We cover Tickham, about 41 miles from central London.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.

Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep the area clear of everyone else. We will tell you when we have finished and what you will receive afterwards. In December, it’s dark in Tickham by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Helpful guides
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Tickham, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
DIY and asbestos
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.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What’s included, and what is not
Worth knowing before booking:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Roof felt
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
Where asbestos turns up
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
These are some of the things we deal with in Tickham:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages due a new roof
- Garages in a row or block
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Older houses in Tickham, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.
