About our asbestos garage roof removal in Westwell Leacon
If you are not sure your garage roof in Westwell Leacon is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Common materials are bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and people normally contact us about garages being knocked down and single garages.
Rural garages near Westwell Leacon are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Westwell Leacon: your questions answered
Do you work near Charing station?
Yes, we cover Westwell Leacon and the area towards Charing station, about 1.2 miles north-west.
Is asbestos common in Westwell Leacon homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Westwell Leacon?
Yes, we do: our area includes Westwell Leacon and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is my garage roof in Westwell Leacon asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Weighing up your options
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
