Asbestos garage roof removal near Three Mills

The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. From garages before a new roof or conversion and broken sheets after high winds, we cover bargeboards, cement gutters and ridge pieces.

Garages around Three Mills are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Three Mills: your questions answered

Can you work in Three Mills with London’s parking rules?

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

Do you cover Three Mills and the area around West Ham station?

Yes. West Ham station is about 0.5 miles east of Three Mills, and we cover both.

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

Do I need a test or a survey?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.

What if asbestos is found during building work?

Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.

Step by step

Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep the area clear of everyone else. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. In December, it’s dark in Three Mills by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Should you do it yourself?

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

What it might be made of

Fixings

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

Wall panels

Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
