Asbestos garage roof removal for Temple properties

The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Common materials are bargeboards, downpipes and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are garage conversions and lean-tos and carports.

In Temple, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Common questions in Temple

Could my house in Temple contain asbestos?

If your home in Temple was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Can you work in Temple with London’s parking rules?

We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.

Can you help a business or landlord?

Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.

Do you work in Temple?

Yes, Temple is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.

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.

What happens to the old roof sheets?

They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.

Do you work in flats?

Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

Step by step

If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, because safety comes first. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. In December, it’s dark in Temple by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

  1. Tell us the size of the garage and the access
  2. We work out how to reach the roof safely
  3. We time it around your roofer
  4. We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
  5. You get the waste paperwork

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if something’s broken
  • Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
  • Warn neighbours if needed

Responsibilities for owners

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Can I do it myself?

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

After we’ve finished in Temple

We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.

Going forward:

  • Keep children and pets indoors during the work
  • Let us know where we can park
  • Keep the consignment note afterwards
  • Let neighbours know beforehand

Avoid these

Never cut or break the sheets.

If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Temple

Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.

Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:

  • Single and double garage roofs
  • Garages due a new roof
  • Garage blocks
  • Sheet garages

In Temple, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.
