Asbestos garage roof removal in Calcott
If you are not sure your garage roof in Calcott is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. From block garages and lean-tos and carports, we cover ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
In towns and villages like Calcott, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Ridge cappings are usually asbestos cement too.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.

What else we do in Calcott
Where asbestos turns up
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which need careful clearing.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages being knocked down
- Garages due a new roof
- Single garages
Around West Blean and Thornden Woods, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores.

- Any exclusions
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
After the job
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Give us a rough size
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Book your roofer in advance
Avoid these
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
