How asbestos garage roof removal works in Four Throws
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From carport roofs and double garages, we deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and ridge pieces and more.
In areas like Four Throws, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
