Asbestos garage roof removal near Abbotts Barton
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Abbotts Barton
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Common materials are ridge pieces, cement wall panels and downpipes, and typical jobs are cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and single garages.
In places like Abbotts Barton, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is generally simple to plan. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- The type of material and its condition
- How much waste there is
- Travel and parking
- How many samples are needed
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- Labels, if any
- A photo of the whole area
- How we’d reach it
- A clear close-up
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
What happens
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and nobody else comes near. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Abbotts Barton by about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
