Asbestos garage roof removal near Woodmansterne
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Common materials are ridge pieces, bargeboards and downpipes, and people usually contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and carport roofs.
In a smaller place like Woodmansterne, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is generally simple to plan. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Questions from Woodmansterne
Are garage roofs in Woodmansterne normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Woodmansterne from London?
Woodmansterne is about 13 miles from central London, well within our area.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Duty holders and landlords in Woodmansterne
