Asbestos garage roof removal in Wye
Asbestos garage roof removal for Wye properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Wye tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical materials include cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes, and typical jobs are garages being knocked down and garages before a new roof or conversion.
Rural garages near Wye are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

FAQs for Wye
Is asbestos common in Wye homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Wye can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Wye and the area around Wye station?
Yes, we cover Wye, including the streets around Wye station.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you work in Wye?
Yes, Wye is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
