Asbestos garage roof removal for Four Elms
FAQs for Four Elms
Do you come out to small villages like Four Elms?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Four Elms contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Four Elms can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is my garage roof in Four Elms asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Going forward:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Weighing up your options
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
