Asbestos garage roof removal for Sewardstone
Questions from Sewardstone
Are garage roofs in Sewardstone generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is asbestos common in Sewardstone homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Sewardstone?
Yes, Sewardstone is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Sewardstone properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Sewardstone tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From carport roofs and old, cracked sheets, we deal with bargeboards, downpipes and cement wall panels.
In London neighbourhoods like Sewardstone, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, which can involve a landlord or several owners. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum. In December, it’s dark in Sewardstone by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
