Asbestos garage roof removal near Kirdford
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical jobs include broken sheets after high winds and concrete-panel garages, involving corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and bargeboards.
Rural garages near Kirdford are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Should you do it yourself?
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.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Duty holders and landlords in Kirdford
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

Kirdford: your questions answered
Do you cover Kirdford and the area around Billingshurst station?
Yes, we cover Kirdford and the area towards Billingshurst station, about 4.7 miles east.
Is asbestos common in Kirdford homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Kirdford may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
