Asbestos garage roof removal for Horton-cum-Studley
Asbestos garage roof removal for Horton-cum-Studley properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about double garages and garages before a new roof or conversion, including cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
Rural garages near Horton-cum-Studley are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Horton-cum-Studley
Do you cover Horton-cum-Studley and the area around Islip station?
Yes, we cover Horton-cum-Studley and the area towards Islip station, about 4.4 miles west.
Is asbestos common in Horton-cum-Studley homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is normally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Materials, one by one
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
