Your questions about garage roof removal in Culham
My garage in Culham has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is Culham from London?
We cover Culham, about 51 miles from central London.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Looking after things afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
A few practical points:
- Keep pets and children inside
- File the waste paperwork
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
