About our asbestos garage roof removal in Lunsford
Single, double and block garages, lean-tos and carports in Lunsford all have roofs like these. Tell us the size and send photos. People often contact us about broken sheets after high winds and brittle, leaking roofs, including ridge pieces, cement gutters and cement wall panels.
In a smaller place like Lunsford, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Lunsford: your questions answered
Do older homes in Lunsford have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Lunsford can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Lunsford from London?
We cover Lunsford, about 26 miles from central London.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
