Asbestos garage roof removal in Brimpton Common
Asbestos garage roof removal for Brimpton Common properties
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are broken sheets after high winds and garages due for demolition.
Rural garages near Brimpton Common are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Common questions in Brimpton Common
My garage in Brimpton Common has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you come out to small villages like Brimpton Common?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Brimpton Common, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- The type of material and its condition

- Location, parking and any London charges

Materials, one by one

Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Your options compared
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion normally mean removal. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
