Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Double garages
- Garages in a row or block
- Old, cracked sheets
- Prefab garages with cement walls
In Tipner, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, often with cement roofs.

How it works
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then load the wrapped waste. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. We plan garage roof jobs in Tipner for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions

For businesses and landlords in Tipner
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Which option is right?
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

What it might be made of

Common questions in Tipner
Are garage roofs in Tipner generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How far is Tipner from London?
Tipner is about 64 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is typically a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
