Asbestos garage roof removal in Ickford
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Ickford
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Ickford tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From lean-tos and carports and single garages, we deal with cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
In a village like Ickford, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Your options compared
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

FAQs for Ickford
Are garage roofs in Ickford normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you come out to small villages like Ickford?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
The process
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. Late-December sunset in Ickford is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
