Asbestos garage roof removal for Purbrook Heath properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. From garages due for demolition and brittle, leaking roofs, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
In towns and villages like Purbrook Heath, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Don’ts
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

For landlords, agents and businesses
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 maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Weighing up your options
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Normally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
