How asbestos garage roof removal works in Broadfield

In towns and villages like Broadfield, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is usually simple to plan. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Common questions in Broadfield
Is asbestos common in Broadfield homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in Broadfield usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Afterwards
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Give us a rough size
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Book your roofer in advance
Don’ts
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
