Asbestos help in Wokefield
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
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.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Wokefield
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical jobs include single garages and prefab garages with cement walls, including corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and downpipes.
In places like Wokefield, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

Common questions in Wokefield
My garage in Wokefield has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Mortimer station?
Yes, we cover Wokefield and the area towards Mortimer station, about 1.6 miles south.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
