Asbestos garage roof removal in Bury
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include lean-tos and carports and sheet garages, including corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and ridge pieces.
Garages around Bury may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Limits to be aware of
We are upfront about what’s included:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels

Typical garage roof jobs in Bury
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Carport roofs
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
In Bury, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Bury questions
Do you work near Amberley station?
Yes, we cover Bury and the area towards Amberley station, about 1.2 miles south-east.
My garage in Bury has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.

What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Some practical advice:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep pets and children inside
Don’ts
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
