Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Sewardstonebury
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about concrete-panel garages and lean-to roofs, involving ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
Garages around Sewardstonebury are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

FAQs for Sewardstonebury
Are garage roofs in Sewardstonebury normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Could my house in Sewardstonebury contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Sewardstonebury may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you cover Sewardstonebury?
Yes, Sewardstonebury is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.

Materials, one by one
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
