Asbestos garage roof removal in Bierley
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Bierley
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include garage blocks and garages being knocked down, involving ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement gutters.
Garages around Bierley may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Helpful guides
Questions from Bierley
Do you work near Shanklin station?
Yes, we cover Bierley and the area towards Shanklin station, about 5 miles north-east.
Could my house in Bierley contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Materials, one by one
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
After we have finished in Bierley
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Once we are done:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep pets and children inside
Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
What we do and do not cover
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Bierley, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Why people call us in Bierley
