Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- How easy it is to reach
- The type of material and its condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Waste quantity and disposal
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- The parking area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Labels, if any
- An overall view
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

Common questions in Wilmington
My garage in Wilmington 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.
How far is Wilmington from London?
We cover Wilmington, about 48 miles from central London.
How do I know if my garage roof is 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 do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you cover Wilmington?
Yes. We cover Wilmington and the surrounding area as part of East Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
For businesses and landlords in Wilmington
For managing agents and freeholders in Wilmington, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Weighing up your options
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Why choose us
- No removal until we know what it is
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
A closer look at the materials
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
What happens next
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
Some practical advice:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- File the waste paperwork
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Book your roofer in advance
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Good to know
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
