Asbestos garage roof removal in Lavendon
How we work
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down. In December, it’s dark in Lavendon by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Dig out previous surveys
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

Asbestos garage roof removal near Lavendon
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical materials include bargeboards, cement wall panels and downpipes, and people generally contact us about single and double garage roofs and garages due a new roof.
In a village like Lavendon, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Common questions in Lavendon
Do older homes in Lavendon have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Lavendon may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Lavendon?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you run a business from older premises in Lavendon, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
After we have finished in Lavendon
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
To avoid problems in future:
- Give us a rough size
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
