Weighing up your options
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What you get
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

What affects the price in Woodford Bridge
What changes the cost:
- The size of the job
- The survey scope
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Location, parking and any London charges
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Photos that help

- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A clear close-up
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The parking area
Every job is quoted in writing. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep pets and children inside
Don’ts
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.

Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.

Woodford Bridge questions
Are garage roofs in Woodford Bridge typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Woodford Bridge and the area around Highams Park station?
Yes. Highams Park station is about 2.4 miles west of Woodford Bridge, and we cover both.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
