About our asbestos garage roof removal in Red Post Bridge
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Red Post Bridge. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Typical jobs include garages due for demolition and pieces of broken roof, including ridge pieces, downpipes and cement wall panels.
Rural garages near Red Post Bridge are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

What affects the price in Red Post Bridge
The cost depends on:
- The survey scope
- Disposal costs
- The quantity or area
- Licensed or non-licensed
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Labels, if any
- An idea of size
- A photo of the whole area
- Where we could park
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
The scope of garage roof removal
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
