Asbestos garage roof removal in Lower Eashing
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Lower Eashing tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. From lean-tos and carports and garages due for demolition, we cover corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
In a village like Lower Eashing, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Lower Eashing questions
How far is Lower Eashing from London?
We cover Lower Eashing, about 32 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Lower Eashing typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Duty holders and landlords in Lower Eashing
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. Late-December sunset in Lower Eashing is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
