Asbestos garage roof removal for Breach properties
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. People often contact us about double garages and old, cracked sheets, including cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
Rural garages near Breach are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Breach: your questions answered
Do you cover Breach and the area around Snowdown station?
Yes, we cover Breach and the area towards Snowdown station, about 3.6 miles north-east.
Do you come out to small villages like Breach?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.

Good to know
A few things to be aware of:

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
These are some of the things we deal with in Breach:
- Garages in a row or block
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages due for demolition
- Lean-to roofs
Around Cheriton Hill, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together.
Questions to ask before you book
- What category of work it is
- How fibres will be kept down
- Whether VAT is included
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Duty holders and landlords in Breach
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Breach must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
How we price garage roof removal
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The quantity or area
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Travel and parking
- What the material is and its state
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:

- Where we could park
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Approximate dimensions
Every job is quoted in writing. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
The process
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion. Garage roof removal in Breach is planned around daylight: sunset is about 3:50pm in December and about 9:15pm in June.
