Asbestos garage roof removal in Regents Park

Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Common materials are cement gutters, ridge pieces and bargeboards, and people normally contact us about double garages and garages due a new roof.

In places like Regents Park, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Where asbestos turns up

Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.

Typical jobs in Regents Park include:

Double garages
Garages due for demolition
Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
Lean-tos and carports

Near open spaces such as Testwood Lakes, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

Service details

What happens

On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Parking close by makes the day easier. In December, it’s dark in Regents Park by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
You get a written quote
The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking

For landlords, agents and businesses

Common questions in Regents Park

Are garage roofs in Regents Park typically asbestos?

Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.

Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?

Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.

Can you quote from photos?

Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.

Does someone need to be there?

Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

Is my garage roof in Regents Park asbestos?

Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

After the job

After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.

Looking after any asbestos that remains:

File the waste paperwork
Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Book your roofer in advance
Let neighbours know beforehand

Avoid these

Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.

Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.

Which option is right?

Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
