Asbestos garage roof removal for Little Holbury properties
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s garages in a row or block and garages due for demolition, we deal with ridge pieces, cement gutters and cement wall panels and more.
In areas like Little Holbury, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

FAQs for Little Holbury
Is asbestos common in Little Holbury homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My garage in Little Holbury has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work in Little Holbury?
We do: our area includes Little Holbury and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Which option is right?
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion generally mean removal. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
