Asbestos garage roof removal in Vines Cross
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. People often contact us about garage conversions and carport roofs, including corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and bargeboards.
In a village like Vines Cross, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Vines Cross questions
Do you come out to small villages like Vines Cross?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Vines Cross from London?
We cover Vines Cross, about 42 miles from central London.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
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.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do you work in Vines Cross?
Yes, Vines Cross is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- How much waste there is
- Access to the area
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
