Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you manage or own a block in RG8, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.

The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.

- Give us a rough size
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep weight off the roof.

How we price garage roof removal
Every quote reflects:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The category of work
- Location, parking and any London charges
- What the material is and its state
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Street parking nearby
- A close-up from a safe distance
Share the postcode, a short description and photos: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor.
What to look for in a quote
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- How fibres will be kept down
RG8 questions
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is usually a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How do I get a quote?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
