Asbestos help in Iford
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Iford
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. People often contact us about pieces of broken roof and single and double garage roofs, involving downpipes, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
In places like Iford, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

What to avoid

Iford questions
How far is Iford from London?
We cover Iford, about 45 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Iford homes?
If your home in Iford was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is generally quick once we are set up.
Do you cover Iford?
Yes, Iford is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
