About our asbestos garage roof removal in Aldworth
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Aldworth. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include garage conversions and prefab garages with cement walls, involving ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
In towns and villages like Aldworth, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages in a row or block
- Garage conversions

Questions to ask before booking
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- The documents you’ll receive
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
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.

Questions from Aldworth
Do you come out to small villages like Aldworth?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Aldworth have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
