Need garage roof removal in Overton?
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
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.

What affects the price in Overton
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- How much there is
- What the material is and its state
- The category of work
- Waste quantity and disposal
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Overton
Do older homes in Overton have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Overton can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Overton and the area around Overton station?
Yes. Overton station is about 0.8 miles north of Overton, and we cover both.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
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.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
