How asbestos garage roof removal works in GU29

If you’re not sure your garage roof in GU29 is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Typical jobs include cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and concrete-panel garages, involving ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement gutters.

On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole.

  1. Describe the garage
  2. We plan the access and the waste
  3. We agree a date that fits your new roof
  4. We take the roof off safely
  5. You get the waste paperwork

Good to know

It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:

  • We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
  • High winds can delay roof work
  • Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor

Choosing the right option

Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof.

What to look for in a quote

  • The method and controls
  • What paperwork you get
  • What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
  • That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

Should you do 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.

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.

Why people call us in GU29

Questions from GU29

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.

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.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?

Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.

How do I get a quote?

Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.

How quickly can you come out?

It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Do you work in flats?

We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.

  • Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
  • Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
  • Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
  • Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
