Your questions about garage roof removal in Palmer's Green
Do you cover small places like Palmer's Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
My garage in Palmer's Green has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Is my garage roof in Palmer's Green asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
