Asbestos garage roof removal for Wickstreet properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Typical jobs include sheet garages and lean-tos and carports, involving ridge pieces, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets.
Rural garages near Wickstreet are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Common questions in Wickstreet
Do older homes in Wickstreet have asbestos?
If your home in Wickstreet was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is normally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Is my garage roof in Wickstreet asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
