Asbestos garage roof removal near Aperfield

Asbestos garage roof removal in Aperfield

Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical jobs include garages being knocked down and garages in a row or block, including bargeboards, cement wall panels and downpipes.

In London neighbourhoods like Aperfield, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Materials, one by one

Wall panels

Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.

Corrugated sheets

Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.

Where asbestos turns up

Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:

  • Double garages
  • Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
  • Garages before a new roof or conversion
  • Block garages

If you let a house with a garage near Oxted station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Before booking anyone

  • Which laboratory analyses samples
  • Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
  • How fibres will be kept down
  • Whether the job needs notifying

How we work

We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. Parking close by makes the day easier. Late-December sunset in Aperfield is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

  1. Tell us the size of the garage and the access
  2. We work out how to reach the roof safely
  3. We time it around your roofer
  4. We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
  5. You get the waste paperwork

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking and access
  • Keep the area clear of children and pets
  • Keep away from the material in the meantime

FAQs for Aperfield

Do older homes in Aperfield have asbestos?

It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Aperfield may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Can you work in Aperfield with London’s parking rules?

We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?

First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.

Where do the sheets go?

They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.

Is garage roof removal licensed work?

Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.

Is asbestos dangerous?

Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.

Do you cover Aperfield?

We do: our area includes Aperfield and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

Your options compared

Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Why us?

  • Covering London and the South East
  • Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
  • Homes, rented property and workplaces
  • We identify first and remove only what needs removing

How we price garage roof removal

The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:

  • Material and condition
  • Parking and access charges
  • How easy it is to reach
  • The survey scope

Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

Sending photos

What to photograph:

  • The access route
  • Where we could park
  • An idea of size
  • Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely

Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.

Looking after things afterwards

We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.

After the job, keep these in mind:

  • Plan the new roof before removal
  • Tell us about parking and access
  • Let neighbours know beforehand
  • Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof

Avoid these

Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.

Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

What we do and do not cover

It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:

  • Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
  • Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
  • Re-roofing is normally separate

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

What we deal with

  • Fixings and bolts
  • Bargeboards
  • Ridge pieces
  • Cement wall panels
  • Corrugated cement sheets
  • Roof felt
  • Gutters and downpipes
