Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get

- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

How asbestos garage roof removal works in Clatterford
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Clatterford. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and ridge pieces, and people typically contact us about garages due a new roof and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs.
In towns and villages like Clatterford, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Once we are done:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- File the waste paperwork
- Let us know where we can park
- Give us a rough size

Questions from Clatterford
My garage in Clatterford has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Could my house in Clatterford contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Clatterford can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
