Asbestos garage roof removal for Lurgashall

Looking after things afterwards

After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.

After the job, keep these in mind:

  • Keep pets and children inside
  • Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
  • Keep the consignment note afterwards
  • Tell us about parking and access

Don’ts

Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

How asbestos garage roof removal works in Lurgashall

We remove single and double garage roofs, garages in rows and blocks, lean-tos and carports across Lurgashall. Photos and rough sizes help us quote. From pieces of broken roof and double garages, we deal with bargeboards, ridge pieces and downpipes.

In a village like Lurgashall, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Typical garage roof jobs in Lurgashall

Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.

In older properties, we often see:

  • Roofs to clear before demolition
  • Old, cracked sheets
  • Garage blocks
  • Lean-tos and carports

Near open spaces such as Blackdown, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Before booking anyone

  • Any exclusions
  • Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
  • Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
  • What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork

How to choose an asbestos contractor

Which option is right?

Removal first, then the new roof, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

What you get

  • Houses, flats and business premises
  • Jobs planned to HSE guidance
  • Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
  • Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

Duty holders and landlords in Lurgashall

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Can I do it myself?

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Lurgashall

Could my house in Lurgashall contain asbestos?

That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Lurgashall may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

My garage in Lurgashall has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?

Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.

How can I get a price?

Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

How dangerous is asbestos?

It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.

Can you help with a shop or office?

Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.

How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?

Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.

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.

How we work

We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions.

  2. We check the roof material first
  3. You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
  4. The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
  5. We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note

How to prepare
