About our asbestos garage roof removal in Brightwalton Green
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include old, cracked sheets and lean-tos and carports, involving corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement wall panels.
Garages around Brightwalton Green may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Brightwalton Green: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Brightwalton Green homes?
If your home in Brightwalton Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Brightwalton Green from London?
Brightwalton Green is about 56 miles from central London, well within our area.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
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.

Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
