Asbestos garage roof removal in Egerton Forstal
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical materials include downpipes, cement wall panels and bargeboards, and people usually contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and pieces of broken roof.
Rural garages near Egerton Forstal are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

FAQs for Egerton Forstal
Could my house in Egerton Forstal contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Egerton Forstal?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
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, then contact a professional.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
