Asbestos garage roof removal for Blacknest
Asbestos garage roof removal near Blacknest
Many garages built before 2000, in Blacknest and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. From carport roofs and brittle, leaking roofs, we deal with bargeboards, cement wall panels and cement gutters and more.
Garages around Blacknest may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Blacknest questions
Could my house in Blacknest contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Blacknest can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Blacknest usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
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.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

For businesses and landlords in Blacknest
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Blacknest must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Looking after things afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Some practical advice:
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Give us a rough size
Avoid these
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
