About our asbestos garage roof removal in Sutton-under-Brailes

In places like Sutton-under-Brailes, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

FAQs for Sutton-under-Brailes
My garage in Sutton-under-Brailes has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Sutton-under-Brailes homes?
If your home in Sutton-under-Brailes was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.

Responsibilities for owners
