After we have finished in Wadhurst

After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.

Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:

  • Measure or estimate the size of the roof
  • Photos of the garage and the way in help
  • Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
  • Book your roofer in advance

What to avoid

Keep weight off the roof.

Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.

Step by step

We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing. Garage roof removal in Wadhurst is planned around daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:15pm in June.

Common questions in Wadhurst

How far is Wadhurst from London?

We cover Wadhurst, about 35 miles from central London.

Is asbestos common in Wadhurst homes?

If your home in Wadhurst was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

How can I get a price?

Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?

Typically, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.

How dangerous is asbestos?

Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.

Can you help a business or landlord?

We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

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.

Duty holders and landlords in Wadhurst

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

Where asbestos turns up

Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:

  • Double garages
  • Garages being knocked down
  • Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
  • Block garages

For rented homes with garages close to Wadhurst station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Before you book anyone

  • Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
  • If the price includes VAT
  • What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
  • How fibres will be kept down

Doing it yourself?

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

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.

  • Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
  • Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
  • Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
  • Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
