About our asbestos garage roof removal in Joyden's Wood

Whether it’s brittle, leaking roofs and lean-to roofs, we cover bargeboards, cement wall panels and ridge pieces and more.
Garages around Joyden's Wood are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

For businesses and landlords in Joyden's Wood
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
For managing agents and freeholders in Joyden's Wood, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Some limits to bear in mind:

Joyden's Wood: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Joyden's Wood homes?
Any home in Joyden's Wood built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Joyden's Wood has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is usually a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
