Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you manage or own a block in Springhead, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Options to consider in Springhead
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Common questions in Springhead
Are garage roofs in Springhead generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in Springhead have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Springhead can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Some limits to bear in mind:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
