About our asbestos garage roof removal in Broomer's Corner
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include garages due for demolition and concrete-panel garages, including cement wall panels, cement gutters and bargeboards.
Rural garages near Broomer's Corner are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Broomer's Corner: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Broomer's Corner normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you come out to small villages like Broomer's Corner?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
The process
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. We plan garage roof jobs in Broomer's Corner for daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
