DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Durrington
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Common materials are bargeboards, cement gutters and cement wall panels, and people generally contact us about garage conversions and old, cracked sheets.
In towns and villages like Durrington, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is generally simple to plan. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

How we work
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there’s no confusion. In December, it’s dark in Durrington by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Get in touch with photos
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Getting ready
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

Every job is quoted in writing. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details.
Looking after things afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Durrington
Could my house in Durrington contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Durrington may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in Durrington typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
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 generally aren’t licensed.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
