Asbestos help in Dial Post
Why people call us in Dial Post
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Lean-to roofs
Near open spaces such as Knepp Wildland, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

Asbestos garage roof removal in Dial Post
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Whether it’s cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and broken sheets after high winds, we cover cement gutters, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
Garages around Dial Post may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The survey scope
- How easy it is to reach
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Location, parking and any London charges
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:

Places near Dial Post
What else we do in Dial Post
Dial Post: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Dial Post usually 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 Dial Post?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
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.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
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. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
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. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
