Asbestos garage roof removal near Coolham
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s garages being knocked down and garages due a new roof, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Coolham, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Coolham
How far is Coolham from London?
Coolham is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Billingshurst station?
Yes. Billingshurst station is about 2.4 miles north-west of Coolham, and we cover both.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

After we’ve finished in Coolham
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:

- Tell us about parking and access

- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

Duty holders and landlords in Coolham
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
