Helpful guides
Your questions about garage roof removal in Orchard Leigh
My garage in Orchard Leigh has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is normally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
