About our asbestos garage roof removal in Langley
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Langley tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. People often contact us about lean-tos and carports and garage blocks, including cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
In a smaller place like Langley, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Choosing the right option
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’s a serious falls risk too. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Common questions in Langley
Do you cover Langley and the area around Langley station?
Yes. Langley station is about 0.5 miles east of Langley, and we cover both.
Do you cover Langley from London?
We cover Langley, about 20 miles from central London.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Is my garage roof in Langley asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
