Asbestos garage roof removal in Popeswood
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical materials include ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and people typically contact us about pieces of broken roof and sheet garages.
In a smaller place like Popeswood, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Is my garage roof in Popeswood 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 sample it safely from the edge.
Does someone need to be there?
