About our asbestos garage roof removal in Wick
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From brittle, leaking roofs and lean-tos and carports, we deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets and more.
In Wick, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Common questions in Wick
Is asbestos common in Wick homes?
If your home in Wick was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Options to consider in Wick
What about painting or overcladding? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. Our guide covers the options. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?

Can I do it myself?

With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
