Asbestos garage roof removal in Elmer
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Elmer
Many garages built before 2000, in Elmer and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. From lean-to roofs and garage conversions, we deal with cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Elmer, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is usually simple to plan. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

FAQs for Elmer
Do older homes in Elmer have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Elmer may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Elmer usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
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.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you cover Elmer?
Yes, we do: our area includes Elmer and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.

- Corrugated cement sheets
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
The process
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. We plan garage roof jobs in Elmer for daylight: sunset is about 4:00pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Clear the way to the work area
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
How to get a quote
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

After we have finished in Elmer
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- File the waste paperwork
- Keep pets and children inside
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Book your roofer in advance
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
- 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
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
