How asbestos garage roof removal works in Catmore
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. People often contact us about lean-to roofs and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, involving ridge pieces, cement gutters and bargeboards.
In places like Catmore, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

A closer look at the materials
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Your options compared
Thinking of doing it yourself? 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. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

What to avoid
Never cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Catmore, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Catmore: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Catmore?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in Catmore has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, 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, with the consignment note sent to you.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
