Asbestos garage roof removal in Burcot
Asbestos garage roof removal near Burcot
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Burcot. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. People often contact us about single garages and garages in a row or block, including cement wall panels, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
In a village like Burcot, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Step by step
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you. In December, it’s dark in Burcot by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Burcot, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
