How asbestos garage roof removal works in Bishop's Sutton
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. We often deal with ridge pieces, cement wall panels and downpipes, and typical jobs are block garages and storm-damaged sheets.
In a village like Bishop's Sutton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Your options compared
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Questions from Bishop's Sutton
Do older homes in Bishop's Sutton have asbestos?
If your home in Bishop's Sutton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Bishop's Sutton usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is my garage roof in Bishop's Sutton asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
The scope of garage roof removal

- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change

Materials, one by one
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
Duty holders and landlords in Bishop's Sutton
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
What happens next
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- File the waste paperwork
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep weight off the roof.

We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there is no confusion.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Bishop's Sutton
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Block garages
- Garage conversions
- Storm-damaged sheets
Near open spaces such as Shutts Copse, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which areas and materials are covered
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What paperwork you get
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
