How asbestos garage roof removal works in Townsend
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. People often contact us about single garages and sheet garages, involving ridge pieces, downpipes and bargeboards.
Garages around Townsend may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We only recommend work that is needed.

Common questions in Townsend
Do you cover Townsend and the area around Midgham station?
Yes. Midgham station is about 4.9 miles north of Townsend, and we cover both.
Do you cover Townsend from London?
Townsend is about 49 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
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.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
