What else we do in Rooksdown
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Options to consider in Rooksdown
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

FAQs for Rooksdown
My garage in Rooksdown 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.
How far is Rooksdown from London?
We cover Rooksdown, about 47 miles from central London.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is my garage roof in Rooksdown asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Do you cover Rooksdown?
Yes, we do: our area includes Rooksdown and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
To avoid problems in future:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

Before booking, note that:
- High winds can delay roof work
