Asbestos garage roof removal in Luddesdown
If you are not sure your garage roof in Luddesdown is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. From lean-to roofs and garages before a new roof or conversion, we cover downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters.
Rural garages near Luddesdown are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Where asbestos turns up
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garages in a row or block
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Concrete-panel garages
Properties near Ranscombe Farm may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.
