About our asbestos garage roof removal in New Copse
Many garages built before 2000, in New Copse and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Common materials are downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and people generally contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and double garages.
In a village like New Copse, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Your questions about garage roof removal in New Copse
Do you cover New Copse and the area around Alton station?
Yes. Alton station is about 4.3 miles east of New Copse, and we cover both.
Do you cover New Copse from London?
New Copse is about 49 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
