Asbestos help in The Platt
Asbestos garage roof removal near The Platt
An old asbestos cement garage roof in The Platt tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. People often contact us about single and double garage roofs and lean-to roofs, including corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
Rural garages near The Platt are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Typically not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Your options compared
Removal first, then the new roof, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Duty holders and landlords in The Platt
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Materials we deal with
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
