Asbestos garage roof removal near Draycott
Asbestos garage roof removal for Draycott properties
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical materials include bargeboards, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and people typically contact us about garages due a new roof and garages in a row or block.
Rural garages near Draycott are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

What to avoid

The process
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, because safety comes first. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions. Garage roof removal in Draycott is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note

Helpful guides
Draycott questions
Is asbestos common in Draycott homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Draycott from London?
Draycott is about 45 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
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.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
