After we have finished in Virginia Water
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Tell us about parking and access
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Virginia Water
Could my house in Virginia Water contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Virginia Water has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
