Asbestos garage roof removal in Graffham
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Graffham.

Whether it’s broken sheets after high winds and garage conversions, we cover corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and downpipes.
Garages around Graffham may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Typical garage roof jobs in Graffham
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Block garages
- Garages due for demolition
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Prefab garages with cement walls
Older houses in Graffham, near The Parish Church of St Giles or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Questions from Graffham
Are garage roofs in Graffham typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Could my house in Graffham contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Graffham may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work in Graffham?
Yes, Graffham is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
After we’ve finished in Graffham
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Give us a rough size
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
