How asbestos garage roof removal works in Drellingore
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From lean-to roofs and garages before a new roof or conversion, we cover bargeboards, cement wall panels and cement gutters and more.
In a village like Drellingore, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

- Garages due for demolition
- Concrete-panel garages
- Old, cracked sheets
- Lean-tos and carports
