Asbestos garage roof removal in Wheeler End
Asbestos garage roof removal near Wheeler End
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. People often contact us about garages due for demolition and garages before a new roof or conversion, including cement gutters, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
In a village like Wheeler End, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Wheeler End questions
Do older homes in Wheeler End have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Wheeler End may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Wheeler End generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Weighing up your options
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

- Covering London and the South East

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

- High winds can delay roof work

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
