Our asbestos garage roof removal in HP27

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. We often deal with ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards, and people normally contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and lean-to roofs.

Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, then loaded for disposal.

The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking

Prices in HP27

Where asbestos turns up

Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:

Block garages
Broken sheets after high winds
Lean-to roofs
Concrete-panel garages

Duty holders and landlords in HP27

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

Options to consider in HP27

Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal.

Common questions in HP27

Do you work in flats?

Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.

What if my house is newer?

Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

What happens to the old roof sheets?

They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.

What if asbestos is found during building work?

Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

Could my home contain asbestos?

Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

What does licensed work mean?

It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
