About our asbestos garage roof removal in Gunville
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Typical jobs include brittle, leaking roofs and garages due for demolition, including cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In areas like Gunville, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

FAQs for Gunville
Are garage roofs in Gunville normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do older homes in Gunville have asbestos?
Any home in Gunville built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is normally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
If you manage or own a block in Gunville, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
