Asbestos garage roof removal near Bishop's Waltham
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Bishop's Waltham
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include sheet garages and brittle, leaking roofs, involving ridge pieces, bargeboards and downpipes.
Homes in towns and villages like Bishop's Waltham often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. We only recommend work that is needed.

The scope of garage roof removal
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:

Which option is right?
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Some practical advice:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Duty holders and landlords in Bishop's Waltham
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Bishop's Waltham must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Common questions in Bishop's Waltham
My garage in Bishop's Waltham has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do older homes in Bishop's Waltham have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Is my garage roof in Bishop's Waltham 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.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- What the material is and its state
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access to the area
