Asbestos garage roof removal near Upper Brailes
Asbestos garage roof removal in Upper Brailes
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. We often deal with cement gutters, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are garages due a new roof and broken sheets after high winds.
Garages around Upper Brailes may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

What we deal with in Upper Brailes
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Lean-to roofs
- Garage blocks
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Prefab garages with cement walls
Around Castle Hill, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores.

- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Common questions in Upper Brailes
Are garage roofs in Upper Brailes usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover small places like Upper Brailes?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work in Upper Brailes?

- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Give us a rough size
- Book your roofer in advance
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
