Asbestos garage roof removal for Wash Water properties

We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include downpipes, cement gutters and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are roofs to clear before demolition and carport roofs.

Questions from Wash Water
Do you work near Newbury station?
Yes. Newbury station is about 2.5 miles north-east of Wash Water, and we cover both.
Could my house in Wash 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.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
What happens next
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Never cut or break the sheets.

Materials, one by one
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
The process
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Parking close by makes the day easier. We plan garage roof jobs in Wash Water for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.
