Questions from West End
Do you cover small places like West End?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in West End has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Is my garage roof in West End asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in West End
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. People often contact us about block garages and roofs to clear before demolition, involving corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement gutters.
In areas like West End, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

How we price garage roof removal
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Disposal costs
- Material and condition
- The quantity or area
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

How we work
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, ready for disposal at a permitted site. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. In December, it’s dark in West End by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move things out of the way carefully

Helpful guides
Typical garage roof jobs in West End
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Double garages
- Carport roofs
- Sheet garages
- Old, cracked sheets
In West End, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.
What to look for in a quote
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
After we’ve finished in West End
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep pets and children inside
What to avoid
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
How we work in West End
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- No removal until we know what it is

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
