Asbestos garage roof removal near Charvil
Asbestos garage roof removal for Charvil properties
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Common materials are cement gutters, bargeboards and cement wall panels, and people generally contact us about garages due a new roof and carport roofs.
In places like Charvil, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is generally simple to plan. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Charvil questions
Could my house in Charvil contain asbestos?
Any home in Charvil built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Charvil from London?
We cover Charvil, about 34 miles from central London.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Is my garage roof in Charvil asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Materials, one by one
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
