Asbestos help in Tide Mills
Asbestos garage roof removal for Tide Mills properties
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. Typical materials include cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and people usually contact us about garages due a new roof and garage blocks.
In a village like Tide Mills, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

How it works
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In December, it’s dark in Tide Mills by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us the size of the garage and the access
- We work out how to reach the roof safely
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- You get the waste paperwork

Tide Mills: your questions answered
Do you cover Tide Mills from London?
We cover Tide Mills, about 50 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Tide Mills normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How can I get a price?
Just 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.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- Disposal costs
- How easy it is to reach
- How many samples are needed
- The size of the job
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Cracks or breaks
- An idea of size
- The parking area
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
What you get
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Accredited laboratory results
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
