How asbestos garage roof removal works in Bulverhythe

Garage roof removal in Bulverhythe typically includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. Typical materials include cement wall panels, downpipes and cement gutters, and typical jobs are single garages and lean-tos and carports.

In a village like Bulverhythe, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

DIY and asbestos

With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Bulverhythe must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Bulverhythe questions

Do you cover small places like Bulverhythe?

We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.

How far is Bulverhythe from London?

Bulverhythe is about 52 miles from central London, well within our area.

How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?

A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?

Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.

What if my house is newer?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.

What if asbestos is found during building work?

Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.

Do I need a test or a survey?

A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.

How long does it take to remove a garage roof?

A single garage is normally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.

The process

We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. Garage roof removal in Bulverhythe is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:15pm.

  1. Describe the garage
  2. We work out how to reach the roof safely
  3. We agree a date that fits your new roof
  4. We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
  5. We clean up and send the paperwork

How to prepare

  • Warn neighbours if needed
  • Clear access to the area, loft or garage
  • Mention any parking restrictions
