DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Wainscott
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Wainscott is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical jobs include single and double garage roofs and garages before a new roof or conversion, including ridge pieces, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
In places like Wainscott, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is generally simple to plan. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

A closer look at the materials
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.

Why people call us in Wainscott
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.

- Old, cracked sheets

Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

Questions from Wainscott
Are garage roofs in Wainscott typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How far is Wainscott from London?
We cover Wainscott, about 27 miles from central London.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Let us know where we can park
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
