Asbestos garage roof removal for Ashey
Asbestos garage roof removal near Ashey
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. Common materials are bargeboards, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are pieces of broken roof and single garages.
Garages around Ashey may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

FAQs for Ashey
Is asbestos common in Ashey homes?
If your home in Ashey was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Smallbrook Junction station?
Yes. Smallbrook Junction station is about 1.5 miles north-east of Ashey, and we cover both.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
How we price garage roof removal

For businesses and landlords in Ashey
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

What happens next
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.

If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
