About our asbestos garage roof removal in Bilsham

You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From block garages and concrete-panel garages, we deal with cement wall panels, bargeboards and downpipes and more.

In a village like Bilsham, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Typical garage roof jobs in Bilsham

Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.

Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:

  • Garage conversions
  • Garage blocks
  • Pieces of broken roof
  • Concrete-panel garages

In Bilsham, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.

Before you book anyone

  • How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
  • How the work will be done, and the controls used
  • Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
  • VAT, clearly stated

Bilsham questions

How far is Bilsham from London?

We cover Bilsham, about 53 miles from central London.

Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?

Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.

Can you help a business or landlord?

We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.

How long does it take to remove a garage roof?

A single garage is normally a short job, though access and condition affect it.

How do I get a quote?

Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.

Can you help with a shop or office?

Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.

  • High winds can delay roof work

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

Materials, one by one

Ridge pieces

They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.

Wall panels

Some garages have cement wall panels as well.

Should you do it yourself?

Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes vary because of:

  • How much there is
  • What the material is and its state
  • Disposal costs
  • Travel and parking

Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Helping us quote

Before you send photos, a few tips:

  • A picture of the whole area
  • Approximate dimensions
  • Labels, if any
  • The access route

Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Responsibilities for owners

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

  • Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
  • Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
