We had a garage that had an asbestos roof.
Is my asbestos garage roof dangerous.
There could be asbestos contained in the wall cement to help improve insulation.
Hi i have an asbestos garage.
The asbestos would have been wrapped in 1000g poly and sealed with asbestos warning tape.
Again you can check the texture and appearance for fibres dimples and craters.
The asbestos pannels would have been carefully removed and sprayed with water and a bonding agent to contain any dust arising.
This will have come from the asbestos cement roof and will therefore probably contain asbestos fibers.
If you re going to check your garage roof for asbestos take the appropriate safety precautions.
Due to the relatively small amount of asbestos which is in the cement it s unlikely that many fibres would be released rendering it fairly safe under normal conditions.
Is it only dangerous if i take down the garage and say the asbestos material breaks and i breathe in the asbestos.
Firstly keep a lookout for any silt debris that is left in the bottom of the gutters.
But now i am quite paranoid and am wondering just how dangerous this actually was.
It is also worth checking your entire garage structure not just the roof.
We ve put together this handy guide to explain everything you need to know about asbestos and garages.
Wear a face mask gloves and cover any bare skin.
We got quotes for removing the asbestos roof and we were getting told my a neighbour that only a licensed asbestos carrier could take it away and it would be thousands.
The asbestos bound to the cement is extremely hardwearing and as a result it is unlikely that your asbestos garage roof has eroded to a dangerous degree.
If you re still wondering how can i tell if my garage roof is asbestos read on.
The product used on an asbestos contaminated garage will have been asbestos cement which has an asbestos content of between 10 15.
Take care not to disturb the asbestos it s more dangerous when tampered with.
I think so as our garage has an asbestos roof and we were told it was no problem unless we wanted to take it down.
Hi i have an asbestos garage.
We wanted to knock the garage down to make our garden bigger as we never used the old leaking garage anyway.
Any small pieces of asbestos would have been double bagged in red and clear asbestos sign written bags and sealed with tape.
Safe removal of asbestos from a garage.
Hi there about a year or two ago my husband decided to do some diy around the garage s asbestos roof corrugated panels.
