Asbestos garage roof removal near Burkham
Asbestos garage roof removal for Burkham properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Common materials are downpipes, cement gutters and ridge pieces, and people normally contact us about garages being knocked down and double garages.
In a village like Burkham, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Burkham
Do you come out to small villages like Burkham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Burkham and the area around Alton station?
Yes, we cover Burkham and the area towards Alton station, about 4.7 miles south-east.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Worth knowing before booking:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
