Asbestos garage roof removal for Northdown properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Typical jobs include concrete-panel garages and garage blocks, involving ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
In a smaller place like Northdown, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is typically simple to plan. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Doing it yourself?
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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
