Asbestos garage roof removal in Mickleham
Asbestos garage roof removal in Mickleham
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include concrete-panel garages and storm-damaged sheets, involving corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and cement gutters.
In a village like Mickleham, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

We’ll say if it should be tested.
What happens
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Mickleham is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork

What else we do in Mickleham
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you run a business from older premises in Mickleham, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- The size of the job
- How much waste there is
- How easy it is to reach
- The survey scope
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety

Mickleham: your questions answered
Do older homes in Mickleham have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Mickleham normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
