Asbestos garage roof removal across TN22

Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We often deal with downpipes, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and people usually contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and garages being knocked down.

Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, then loaded for disposal.

  1. Tell us the size of the garage and the access
  2. We plan the access and the waste
  3. We agree a date that fits your new roof
  4. We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
  5. We clean up and send the paperwork

What’s included, and what is not

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

  • We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
  • If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
  • Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord

Your options compared

Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion typically mean removal.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
  • How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
  • If the price includes VAT
  • Suitable insurance for the work

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in TN22

Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.

People normally contact us about one of these:

  • Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
  • Block garages
  • Roofs to clear before demolition
  • Carport roofs

TN22: your questions answered

How do I get a quote?

Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Does asbestos always have to come out?

Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?

Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.

Can you help with a shop or office?

Yes. Send us the details of the premises.

What if asbestos is found during building work?

Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

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

A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.

Do you work in flats?

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

  • Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
  • Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
