How asbestos garage roof removal works in Postling
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Postling tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Whether it’s old, cracked sheets and garages due a new roof, we deal with cement wall panels, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
Rural garages near Postling are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

FAQs for Postling
My garage in Postling 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.
Do you cover Postling from London?
We cover Postling, about 57 miles from central London.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you cover Postling?
Yes, we do: our area includes Postling and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Give us a rough size
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
