Asbestos garage roof removal in Burnt Hill
Garage roof removal in Burnt Hill normally includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. Common materials are cement wall panels, cement gutters and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garages before a new roof or conversion and concrete-panel garages.
In a village like Burnt Hill, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Burnt Hill: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Burnt Hill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Are garage roofs in Burnt Hill usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
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.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.

DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
