Asbestos garage roof removal for Forest Corner properties
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. From pieces of broken roof and garages in a row or block, we deal with cement gutters, downpipes and bargeboards and more.
Garages around Forest Corner may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Forest Corner questions
Is asbestos common in Forest Corner homes?
Any home in Forest Corner built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
How do I get a quote?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
