Asbestos garage roof removal for Mill Hill
Asbestos garage roof removal for Mill Hill properties
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. People often contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and garage conversions, involving cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Mill Hill, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is typically simple to plan. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Do you work near Walmer station?

Could my home contain asbestos?

Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is typically quick once we’re set up.

Weighing up your options
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
