Asbestos garage roof removal in Pizien Well
Asbestos garage roof removal near Pizien Well
If you are not sure your garage roof in Pizien Well is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Whether it’s old, cracked sheets and storm-damaged sheets, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and bargeboards and more.
In a village like Pizien Well, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
FAQs for Pizien Well
Could my house in Pizien Well contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Pizien Well can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Pizien Well from London?
Pizien Well is about 27 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Different materials need a different approach
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
Which option is right?
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
