Asbestos garage roof removal in Coldharbour

Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. From broken sheets after high winds and lean-tos and carports, we cover corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement gutters.

In Coldharbour, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Should you do it yourself?

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Weighing up your options

Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Where asbestos turns up

Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:

Single and double garage roofs
Garages being knocked down
Old, cracked sheets
Block garages

If you let a house with a garage near Canary Wharf station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

What to check before booking

Landlords, managing agents and employers

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

What it costs

Quotes vary because of:

Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Parking and access charges
Access to the area
The quantity or area

What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Sending photos

Before you send photos, a few tips:

The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
A rough size or measurement
A photo of the whole area
Any damage, cracks or broken pieces

Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
