Staying safe afterwards:

- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Give us a rough size
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.

Questions from Tongwell
Are garage roofs in Tongwell typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Tongwell from London?
Tongwell is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Different materials need a different approach
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
