About our asbestos garage roof removal in Warborough
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Warborough. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include garages before a new roof or conversion and broken sheets after high winds, involving cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
In a village like Warborough, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Warborough, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Warborough, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Book your roofer in advance
Don’ts

How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
