Asbestos garage roof removal in Rough Common
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Whether it’s cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and double garages, we cover ridge pieces, bargeboards and downpipes.
Garages around Rough Common may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

Rough Common: your questions answered
Do you cover Rough Common from London?
Rough Common is about 51 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Rough Common contain asbestos?
Any home in Rough Common built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
