Asbestos garage roof removal near Wendlebury
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Wendlebury
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical materials include bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and people normally contact us about lean-tos and carports and single and double garage roofs.
In places like Wendlebury, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

FAQs for Wendlebury
My garage in Wendlebury has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Wendlebury from London?
Wendlebury is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is my garage roof in Wendlebury asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.

Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
The process
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. In December, it’s dark in Wendlebury by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
