How much to remove asbestos garage sections?

Asbestos garage has a simple structure and quite easy to calculate a price for the asbestos removal service.

The best understanding comes when I break down asbestos removal cost to average price of square metre. Even we are talking about the asbestos garage roof or the siding of the building, the approximate cost is £20/ square metre which including the disposal service also with our service.
​
The price can be significantly different per square metre when we are talking about industrial sheds where the back of the ceiling usually has  asbestos sprayed coating insulation  which is extremely dangerous not like the other part of the shed or garage. It is the most friable asbestos form on earth and has up to 85% white asbestos (crysotile) content.
The smallest disturbance is enough for creating asbestos dust.
​
This type of work must carried out with licensed asbestos specialists like us. The spayed asbestos insulation at the back of the roof has to be encapsulated before the safe removal.
*asbestos encapsulation is a special treatment for very friable asbestos material that prevents excessive asbestos exposure
Here are some examples of asbestos garage removal cost:

• Asbestos single garage roof - 400-450£
• Asbestos single garage removal cost - 1200-1400£

*(service including with safe disposal following the government guidelines)

What effects the cost of asbestos garage demolition?

I have a surprisingly simple answer for you. If asbestos present in your garage is more expensive because you need to deal with a highly carcinogen and toxic element.
Going further: asbestos garage removal cost can be higher if not just a roof is made with asbestos but the side of the building also.
More in depth: if asbestos can be found in a bad condition or there is friable asbestos involved the price can go even higher. For more information get in touch. Take photos of suspected area and send it to us for a more accurate quotation.

What is the process of asbestos garage removal? 

Every reliable asbestos removal company starts the work with asbestos survey that paints the picture of the location, condition, and type of the unwanted asbestos fibres filled elements from the building. The removal process continuous with a risk assessment plan and the necessary precautions on the site. The level of preparation depends on the level of risk of asbestos exposure.

The next step of the removal process is the actual discharge of the elements. The trained asbestos removal contractor starts with the asbestos roof removal and moving on to the side panels of the building which are usually quite big asbestos sheet mixed with cement. Very often the whole garage is made of asbestos cement including the corrugated roof as well. In rare examples find grp fibreglass roofing which is lighter and more flexible.

Next phase of the operation is double bag and seal the asbestos cement roof elements and the siding cement sheet, then place the asbestos sticker on them. All debris has to packed the same way. During the procedure probably asbestos fibres released that need to be cleaned up with a special Hepa vacuum cleaner. This is the only filter that able to capture asbestos dust. The microscopic size of asbestos fibers need a super fine net to be captured and hepa vacuum filter is the way to go.

Lastly all asbestos roof sheets and other asbestos waste need to be disposed of following the asbestos regulations 2012.  

How do I know if asbestos is present in my garage?

The age is a good indicator. Using any kind of asbestos material was forbidden after 1999 therefore your building had to be built after that age you probably have no issue with your garage or shed. Older constructions probably has asbestos roofing or asbestos siding, etc..

The only way to find out for sure, you need your building tested for asbestos by carrying out an asbestos survey that cost no more than 160£ in regards a single garage. Although every single project is different in terms of pricing. Call us for more information 01253-335773

Where can I suspect asbestos in my garage?

The most suspected area on the building is the top of the building. Corrugated sheet is a common formation of garages and sheds.
​They most likely made with asbestos cement that has approximately 15% white asbestos content.
​They are considered safe if there are in good condition.
Older garages not just the roof is made of asbestos but also the walls. They are made with cement just like the example above.
​These two locations where asbestos are mostly found.
