Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let us know where we can park
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Don’ts
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Walderslade
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Common materials are downpipes, cement gutters and bargeboards, and people usually contact us about concrete-panel garages and garages in a row or block.
Homes in towns and villages like Walderslade often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Walderslade
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages due for demolition
- Garage conversions
- Block garages
- Pieces of broken roof
Garages on busy roads like the A2045 need loading planned in advance.

Walderslade questions
Could my house in Walderslade contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Walderslade from London?
We cover Walderslade, about 29 miles from central London.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
