- Garage conversions
- Old, cracked sheets
- Pieces of broken roof
- Sheet garages
Across Lynsore Bottom, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Lynsore Bottom questions
Do older homes in Lynsore Bottom have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My garage in Lynsore Bottom has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

What else we do in Lynsore Bottom
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much waste there is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many samples are needed
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Street parking nearby
- A rough size or measurement
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The access route
Each job is priced individually. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 to get started.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
