DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Cliftonville
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Cliftonville tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. From concrete-panel garages and brittle, leaking roofs, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and ridge pieces.
In a smaller place like Cliftonville, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is typically simple to plan. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
A few practical points:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

Cliftonville: your questions answered
Do you cover Cliftonville and the area around Margate station?
Yes, we cover Cliftonville and the area towards Margate station, about 1.4 miles west.
Is asbestos common in Cliftonville homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
The process
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, ready for disposal at a permitted site. Parking close by makes the day easier. Late-December sunset in Cliftonville is about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Tell us about parking and access

Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
