Asbestos garage roof removal for Furze Platt properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From garages due for demolition and garages before a new roof or conversion, we deal with cement gutters, downpipes and bargeboards and more.
In a smaller place like Furze Platt, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is usually simple to plan. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Furze Platt questions
Is asbestos common in Furze Platt homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Furze Platt may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Furze Platt station?
Yes. Furze Platt station is close to the centre of Furze Platt, and we cover the whole area.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Typically not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
