Asbestos garage roof removal in Barnes Street
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Barnes Street
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Barnes Street. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Whether it’s lean-tos and carports and broken sheets after high winds, we deal with ridge pieces, downpipes and cement gutters and more.
In a village like Barnes Street, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Barnes Street
Do you cover small places like Barnes Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Beltring station?
Yes. Beltring station is about 2.2 miles east of Barnes Street, and we cover both.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

Materials, one by one
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Choosing the right option
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why choose us
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- No removal until we know what it is
- Written quotes that say what’s included

What happens next

If asbestos stays in the building:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Plan the new roof before removal
- File the waste paperwork
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
