Asbestos garage roof removal in Westcott Barton
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical jobs include garages in a row or block and storm-damaged sheets, including cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
Rural garages near Westcott Barton are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Questions from Westcott Barton
How far is Westcott Barton from London?
Westcott Barton is about 62 miles from central London, well within our area.
My garage in Westcott Barton has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
