Helpful guides
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Abbotswood
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. We often deal with cement gutters, bargeboards and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are single garages and prefab garages with cement walls.
Garages around Abbotswood may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

To get a quote, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
Doing 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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Your options compared
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- No removal until we know what it is
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Written quotes that say what’s included
Take a look at how we quote and the cost guide.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
