Asbestos garage roof removal in RM14: what to expect
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. Typical jobs include sheet garages and double garages, involving corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and downpipes.
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves.
- Get in touch with photos
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
What you’ll pay
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
How we work in RM14

RM14: garages, outbuildings and roofs
Across RM14, we remove roofs from single garages, doubles, blocks and lean-tos, from the towns to the villages.
Upminster: Properties near Cranham Marsh may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once. For rented homes with garages close to Upminster station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs. We plan garage roof jobs in Upminster for daylight: sunset is about 3:50pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
Options to consider in RM14
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note.
What your quote should include
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
What we do and do not cover
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Re-roofing is normally separate
What affects the price in RM14
We base our quote on:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A close-up from a safe distance
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 to get started.
Duty holders and landlords in RM14
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in RM14, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
After the job
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Plan the new roof before removal
- File the waste paperwork
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Your questions about garage roof removal in RM14
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
What does licensed work mean?
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. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
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, so identifying it before work is important.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
