How asbestos garage roof removal works in Charleshill
Many garages built before 2000, in Charleshill and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. From roofs to clear before demolition and double garages, we deal with bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
In areas like Charleshill, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

A few practical points:
- Book your roofer in advance

Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

FAQs for Charleshill
My garage in Charleshill 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.
Do you come out to small villages like Charleshill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
