Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Calbourne must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
After we’ve finished in Calbourne
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Book your roofer in advance
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Avoid these
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Calbourne
Do you cover small places like Calbourne?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Are garage roofs in Calbourne typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
How can I get a price?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
