How asbestos garage roof removal works in Laleham
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. From block garages and old, cracked sheets, we cover corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and ridge pieces.
In a smaller place like Laleham, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Laleham: your questions answered
Do older homes in Laleham have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Laleham has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you run a business from older premises in Laleham, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
