Choosing an asbestos contractor

About our asbestos garage roof removal in Woolmer Hill

If you’re not sure your garage roof in Woolmer Hill is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Whether it’s garage conversions and single and double garage roofs, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and bargeboards and more.

In areas like Woolmer Hill, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

The process

If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, for safety. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Woolmer Hill is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

  1. Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
  2. We check the roof material first
  3. We quote and book a date around your roofer
  4. The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
  5. The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork

Getting ready

  • Mention any damage before we arrive
  • Move things out of the way carefully
  • Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Woolmer Hill questions

How far is Woolmer Hill from London?

We cover Woolmer Hill, about 41 miles from central London.

Do you work near Haslemere station?

Yes, we cover Woolmer Hill and the area towards Haslemere station, about 1.5 miles north-east.

Do you give written quotes?

Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.

Where do the sheets go?

They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Should all asbestos be removed?

Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?

Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.

After the job

File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.

Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:

  • Measure or estimate the size of the roof
  • Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
  • File the waste paperwork
  • Photos of the garage and the way in help

What to avoid

Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
