Asbestos garage roof removal for Bapchild properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Bapchild. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical materials include cement wall panels, ridge pieces and downpipes, and people typically contact us about old, cracked sheets and carport roofs.
Rural garages near Bapchild are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

What happens next
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Book your roofer in advance
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Common questions in Bapchild

How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Duty holders and landlords in Bapchild

For managing agents and freeholders in Bapchild, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
What we deal with in Bapchild
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Double garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
