Your questions about garage roof removal in Upper Eddington
How far is Upper Eddington from London?
We cover Upper Eddington, about 61 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Upper Eddington normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can you help with a shop or office?
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.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
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.
After the job
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
Going forward:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Book your roofer in advance
Things not to do
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
