About our asbestos garage roof removal in Fratton

In a smaller place like Fratton, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is generally simple to plan. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Questions from Fratton
Are garage roofs in Fratton typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is Fratton from London?
Fratton is about 64 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is my garage roof in Fratton asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What happens next
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
A few practical points:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Let us know where we can park
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Things not to do
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
