Choosing the right option
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Clear written quotes

Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Single and double garage roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
Near open spaces such as Knepp Wildland, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.

Common questions in Ashurst
Is asbestos common in Ashurst homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ashurst may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in Ashurst generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
