It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job

Questions from Fordingbridge
Do older homes in Fordingbridge have asbestos?
Any home in Fordingbridge built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in Fordingbridge typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you give written quotes?

Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.

Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.

The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
