Asbestos garage roof removal for Broom Street
Asbestos garage roof removal for Broom Street properties
Many garages built before 2000, in Broom Street and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Common materials are downpipes, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and people generally contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and single garages.
In a village like Broom Street, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

FAQs for Broom Street
Could my house in Broom Street contain asbestos?
If your home in Broom Street 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.
Do you come out to small villages like Broom Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Why people call us in Broom Street
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.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Lean-to roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Single garages
- Garages in a row or block
Across Broom Street, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.

What happens next
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
What to avoid
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Keep weight off the roof.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
