About our asbestos garage roof removal in Wickhambreaux
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. We often deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and people normally contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and lean-to roofs.
Garages around Wickhambreaux may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Wickhambreaux questions
Do you cover small places like Wickhambreaux?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Wickhambreaux homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Wickhambreaux can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Wickhambreaux?
Yes, Wickhambreaux is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Typical garage roof jobs in Wickhambreaux

Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
