How asbestos garage roof removal works in Bishopstone
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include ridge pieces, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and people typically contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and concrete-panel garages.
In Bishopstone, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Looking after things afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
Keeping things safe:
- Give us a rough size
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Questions from Bishopstone
My garage in Bishopstone has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is Bishopstone from London?
Bishopstone is about 55 miles from central London, well within our area.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
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.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
