Materials, one by one
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Choosing the right option
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
