How asbestos garage roof removal works in Culmers
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s brittle, leaking roofs and broken sheets after high winds, we cover ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
In a village like Culmers, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Materials, one by one
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
For businesses and landlords in Culmers
If you manage or own a block in Culmers, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Culmers questions
Do you cover Culmers from London?
We cover Culmers, about 46 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Culmers?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Keeping things safe:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep pets and children inside
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Avoid these
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
