Your questions about garage roof removal in Priestwood Green
Do you cover small places like Priestwood Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in Priestwood Green has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
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.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is typically a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Priestwood Green must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Priestwood Green
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garages in a row or block
- Garages due a new roof
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Double garages
Near open spaces such as Ranscombe Farm, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.
Before booking anyone
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- The scope of the job, in writing
Your options compared
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
