About our asbestos garage roof removal in Earnley
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include garages before a new roof or conversion and garages due for demolition, involving downpipes, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
In a village like Earnley, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
How it works
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Earnley by about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Get in touch with photos

Helpful guides
Earnley: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Earnley usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Earnley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work in Earnley?
Yes, Earnley is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Travel and parking
- What the material is and its state
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much waste there is
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Visible markings
- A picture of the whole area
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
After the job
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
The scope of garage roof removal
Worth knowing before you book:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- High winds can delay roof work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Common materials

For businesses and landlords in Earnley

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.
