Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Questions from Upper Halliford
Do you cover Upper Halliford and the area around Upper Halliford station?
Yes, we cover Upper Halliford and the area towards Upper Halliford station, about 0.5 miles north.
Do older homes in Upper Halliford have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
How do I get a quote?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Generally, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.

What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The type of material and its condition
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Visible markings
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Upper Halliford, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages in a row or block
- Lean-tos and carports
