DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Bishop's Green
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. From garages before a new roof or conversion and double garages, we deal with cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
In a village like Bishop's Green, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- File the waste paperwork
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
