Asbestos garage roof removal for Seething Wells

Asbestos garage roof removal near Seething Wells

The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and people generally contact us about old, cracked sheets and double garages.

Garages around Seething Wells are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Seething Wells questions

Do you cover Seething Wells and the area around Surbiton station?

Yes. Surbiton station is close to the centre of Seething Wells, and we cover the whole area.

Is asbestos common in Seething Wells homes?

Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

How long will the job take?

It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is generally quick once we are set up.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.

How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?

Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.

Can you remove the whole garage?

We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.

Do you cover Seething Wells?

Yes, Seething Wells is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

Can the roof be overclad?

Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.

Afterwards

We clear up and check for fragments.

After we’ve finished:

  • Photos of the garage and the way in help
  • Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
  • Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
  • Keep the consignment note afterwards

Things not to do

Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.

Prices and what affects them

What changes the cost:

  • How much waste there is
  • Parking and access charges
  • The number of samples or the size of the building
  • The size of the job

There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

What to photograph

Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:

  • Labels, if any
  • Approximate dimensions
  • A close-up from a safe distance
  • The access route

Include any existing survey or test when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.

DIY and asbestos

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Good to know

What’s in and what’s out:

  • Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
  • Re-roofing is normally separate
  • Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Common materials
