How asbestos garage roof removal works in Warnham

Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Warnham. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical materials include ridge pieces, cement wall panels and downpipes, and typical jobs are lean-tos and carports and garages in a row or block.

In a village like Warnham, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Why people call us in Warnham

Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.

You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:

  • Storm-damaged sheets
  • Old, cracked sheets
  • Lean-to roofs
  • Garage blocks

Older houses in Warnham, near The Parish Church of St Margaret or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

What your quote should include

  • What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
  • What is not included
  • Whether the job needs notifying

What to check before you book

Your questions about garage roof removal in Warnham

Do you cover Warnham from London?

We cover Warnham, about 30 miles from central London.

Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?

Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.

Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?

Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.

Is asbestos dangerous?

Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.

Can you help with a shop or office?

We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.

What does licensed work mean?

Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.

What if the weather’s bad?

Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.

Doing it yourself?

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

The process

Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. We plan garage roof jobs in Warnham for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.

  1. Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
  2. We check the roof material first
  3. We quote and book a date around your roofer
  4. We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
  5. We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note

Getting ready

  • Move things out of the way carefully
  • Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
  • Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

What happens next

The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.

A few practical points:

  • Keep pets and children inside
  • File the waste paperwork
  • Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
  • Book your roofer in advance

Don’ts

Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
