About our asbestos garage roof removal in Flimwell
Many garages built before 2000, in Flimwell and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with bargeboards, cement wall panels and cement gutters, and typical jobs are lean-to roofs and garage conversions.
In towns and villages like Flimwell, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Materials, one by one
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
How we work
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on.
