Questions from Loxwood
Are garage roofs in Loxwood normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Loxwood from London?
We cover Loxwood, about 34 miles from central London.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.

We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. Parking close by makes the day easier. Garage roof removal in Loxwood is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.

Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
