Asbestos help in Widmore
Duty holders and landlords in Widmore
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you run a business from older premises in Widmore, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Widmore properties
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From pieces of broken roof and concrete-panel garages, we cover bargeboards, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
Garages around Widmore are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Carport roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
If you’re a landlord with garages near Bickley station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
Questions to ask before booking
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The method and controls

How it works
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and nobody else comes near. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions. Late-December sunset in Widmore is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Getting ready
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Let us know if something’s broken

Helpful guides
Widmore: your questions answered
Do you cover Widmore and the area around Bickley station?
Yes. Bickley station is close to the centre of Widmore, and we cover the whole area.
My garage in Widmore has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Choosing the right option
Paint or overclad instead? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. Our guide covers the options. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
What you get
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Domestic and commercial work
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
See how we quote and the cost guide.
Looking after things afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
A closer look at the materials
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Prices and what affects them
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- The quantity or area
- Disposal costs
- How easy it is to reach
- Licensed or non-licensed
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Where we could park
- Approximate dimensions
- How we’d reach it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Every job is quoted in writing. Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
