About our asbestos garage roof removal in Greatham
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical materials include cement gutters, cement wall panels and bargeboards, and people typically contact us about garages being knocked down and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs.
In areas like Greatham, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Questions from Greatham
Do you cover small places like Greatham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Greatham have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Greatham may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
