About our asbestos garage roof removal in Burgh Heath
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Burgh Heath tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical jobs include garages before a new roof or conversion and garages being knocked down, including cement gutters, ridge pieces and downpipes.
Rural garages near Burgh Heath are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

FAQs for Burgh Heath
Is asbestos common in Burgh Heath homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Burgh Heath generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
