Asbestos garage roof removal near Waddon
Asbestos garage roof removal in Waddon
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Waddon is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. From garages being knocked down and single and double garage roofs, we cover downpipes, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets and more.
Garages around Waddon are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
The scope of garage roof removal
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These are some of the things we deal with in Waddon:
- Sheet garages
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garages due a new roof
- Block garages
Near open spaces such as Duppas Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Waddon
Could my house in Waddon contain asbestos?
Any home in Waddon built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Waddon and the area around Waddon station?
Yes. Waddon station is close to the centre of Waddon, and we cover the whole area.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
