What else we do in Northend
Your questions about garage roof removal in Northend
Are garage roofs in Northend normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is Northend from London?
Northend is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
For businesses and landlords in Northend
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Northend, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Typical garage roof jobs in Northend
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Sheet garages
- Pieces of broken roof
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garage blocks
Properties near Bald Hill may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together.
Questions to ask before booking
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The documents you’ll receive
- Suitable insurance for the work
Looking after things afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Give us a rough size
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
