About our asbestos garage roof removal in Wheatley
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. We often deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards, and typical jobs are lean-to roofs and brittle, leaking roofs.
In a smaller place like Wheatley, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is generally simple to plan. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Common questions in Wheatley
Do you cover Wheatley from London?
Wheatley is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Wheatley contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Is my garage roof in Wheatley 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.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
