How we work
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In December, it’s dark in Elmstone by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Before we arrive
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

FAQs for Elmstone
Are garage roofs in Elmstone generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Elmstone?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
After we’ve finished in Elmstone
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Elmstone, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
