Looking after things afterwards

Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.

Once we are done:

  • Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
  • Give us a rough size
  • Keep children and pets indoors during the work
  • Plan the new roof before removal

Things not to do

Keep weight off the roof.

Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

Step by step

We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you. We plan garage roof jobs in Dry Sandford for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.

  1. Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
  2. If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
  3. You get a written quote
  4. We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
  5. The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note

Getting ready

  • Clear access to the area, loft or garage
  • Keep away from the material in the meantime
  • Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Questions from Dry Sandford

My garage in Dry Sandford has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?

Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.

Do you come out to small villages like Dry Sandford?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.

How long does it take to remove a garage roof?

A single garage is typically a short job, though access and condition affect it.

How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?

Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
