Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
After we have finished:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
The process
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. Garage roof removal in Ewell is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- Describe the garage
- We work out how to reach the roof safely
- We time it around your roofer
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions
