Asbestos garage roof removal near Westborough

An old asbestos cement garage roof in Westborough tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Whether it’s roofs to clear before demolition and garage blocks, we deal with downpipes, cement gutters and cement wall panels.

In areas like Westborough, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What happens

In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, for safety. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Westborough by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

FAQs for Westborough

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

Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.

Do older homes in Westborough have asbestos?

Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.

Can you help a business or landlord?

We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

Does asbestos always have to come out?

No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.

Could my home contain asbestos?

You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.

How dangerous is asbestos?

It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
