Asbestos garage roof removal near Barford St John

From garage conversions and broken sheets after high winds, we deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and ridge pieces and more.

Questions from Barford St John
How far is Barford St John from London?
We cover Barford St John, about 64 miles from central London.
Do you cover Barford St John and the area around Kings Sutton station?
Yes. Kings Sutton station is about 3.9 miles north-east of Barford St John, and we cover both.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is typically a short job, though access and condition affect it.
After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Once we’re done:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Never cut or break the sheets.
A closer look at the materials
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
