Asbestos garage roof removal near Sandhills

We remove single and double garage roofs, garages in rows and blocks, lean-tos and carports across Sandhills. Tell us the size and send photos. Typical jobs include cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and storm-damaged sheets, involving downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.

In areas like Sandhills, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Looking after things afterwards

We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.

To avoid problems in future:

  • Photos of the garage and the way in help
  • Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
  • Keep pets and children inside
  • Measure or estimate the size of the roof

Don’ts

If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.

Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.

FAQs for Sandhills

Do you cover Sandhills from London?

We cover Sandhills, about 35 miles from central London.

Do older homes in Sandhills have asbestos?

That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Sandhills can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

Do you work in flats?

We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

How dangerous is asbestos?

Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.

Do you cover Sandhills?

We do: our area includes Sandhills and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

Do I need a test or a survey?

Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.

Choosing the right option

Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Materials we deal with

Corrugated sheets

The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.

Wall panels

Some garages have cement wall panels as well.

What’s included, and what isn’t

Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:

  • Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
  • Re-roofing is normally separate
  • Different materials need a different approach

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Materials we see

  • Corrugated cement sheets
  • Bargeboards
  • Gutters and downpipes
  • Fixings and bolts
  • Ridge pieces
  • Cement wall panels
  • Roof felt

Service details

Duty holders and landlords in Sandhills

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Doing it yourself?

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
