Your questions about garage roof removal in Albourne Street
Do you cover Albourne Street and the area around Hassocks station?
Yes. Hassocks station is about 2.5 miles east of Albourne Street, and we cover both.
Are garage roofs in Albourne Street normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is usually quick once we’re set up.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Albourne Street
Many garages built before 2000, in Albourne Street and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are garages before a new roof or conversion and brittle, leaking roofs.

What to avoid
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

Choosing the right option
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
