How we work

On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. It helps if we can park nearby. We plan garage roof jobs in Curridge for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.

About our asbestos garage roof removal in Curridge

Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Typical jobs include garage conversions and lean-tos and carports, involving corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and cement gutters.

Garages around Curridge may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Curridge questions

How far is Curridge from London?

We cover Curridge, about 52 miles from central London.

Do you cover small places like Curridge?

We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.

How do I get a quote?

Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Do you take down the walls too?

We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.

Can you quote from photos?

Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.

What paperwork will I get?

That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

Is my garage roof in Curridge asbestos?

A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.

What affects the price in Curridge

The biggest factors in the price are:

  • The category of work
  • The quantity or area
  • Travel and parking
  • Material and condition

Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

What to photograph

Photos often save us a visit:

  • A rough size or measurement
  • Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
  • Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
  • Where we could park

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

After the job

After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.

Staying safe afterwards:

  • Book your roofer in advance
  • Let us know where we can park
  • Give us a rough size
  • Keep the consignment note afterwards

Things not to do

Keep weight off the roof.

Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

What we do and do not cover

Worth knowing before you book:

  • Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
  • Different materials need a different approach
  • Re-roofing is normally separate

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Common materials

  • Ridge pieces
  • Bargeboards
  • Roof felt
  • Corrugated cement sheets
  • Cement wall panels
  • Fixings and bolts
  • Gutters and downpipes

More about this service

Doing it yourself?

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
