FAQs for Gawcott
Is asbestos common in Gawcott homes?
Any home in Gawcott 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 cover Gawcott from London?
Gawcott is about 51 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.

What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Give us a rough size
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Options to consider in Gawcott
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
