Your questions about garage roof removal in Ardingly

How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is usually a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Is my garage roof in Ardingly asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.

- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
