Asbestos garage roof removal near Derringstone
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include garages being knocked down and single and double garage roofs, including cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
In places like Derringstone, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

After the job
We clear up and check for fragments.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Materials, one by one
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Options to consider in Derringstone
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
