About our asbestos garage roof removal in Selsfield Common
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Selsfield Common tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s garages due a new roof and single garages, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and downpipes.
Rural garages near Selsfield Common are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Questions from Selsfield Common
My garage in Selsfield Common has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Selsfield Common from London?
We cover Selsfield Common, about 28 miles from central London.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is my garage roof in Selsfield Common asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.

After we have finished in Selsfield Common
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards

- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
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.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Step by step
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. In December, it’s dark in Selsfield Common by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
