Common questions in Brattle
Do you cover Brattle from London?
Brattle is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
My garage in Brattle has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is normally quick once we are set up.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.

What else we do in Brattle
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garage blocks
- Carport roofs
- Pieces of broken roof
- Old, cracked sheets
In Brattle, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
