How asbestos garage roof removal works in Temple

If you are not sure your garage roof in Temple is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We often deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and people generally contact us about concrete-panel garages and garages due for demolition.

In areas like Temple, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

How we work

Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, then loaded for disposal. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. Late-December sunset in Temple is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

  1. Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
  2. We confirm the material, testing if needed
  3. We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
  4. The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
  5. We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork

Before we arrive

  • Clear access to the area, loft or garage
  • Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
  • Warn neighbours if needed

Helpful guides

Doing it yourself?

If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Questions from Temple

Do older homes in Temple have asbestos?

Any home in Temple built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you cover Temple and the area around Marlow station?

Yes, we cover Temple and the area towards Marlow station, about 1.6 miles north-east.

How can I get a price?

Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.

How dangerous is asbestos?

It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.

Does weather affect the work?

That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

Do you give written quotes?

Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.

Can you remove the whole garage?

Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.

Choosing the right option

Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

How we work in Temple

  • Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
  • Legal disposal, with paperwork
  • Covering London and the South East
  • Domestic and commercial work

Where asbestos turns up

Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.

Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:

  • Garages due for demolition
  • Garages before a new roof or conversion
  • Pieces of broken roof
  • Single garages

In Temple, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Responsibilities for owners

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Materials we deal with

Wall panels

Some garages have cement wall panels as well.

Fixings

Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.

  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
  • Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
  • Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
