Asbestos garage roof removal for Charlton properties

Garages around Charlton may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Charlton questions
Do you cover Charlton from London?
Charlton is about 64 miles from central London, well within our area.
Are garage roofs in Charlton normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
After the job
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
Once we are done:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Book your roofer in advance
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
