Asbestos garage roof removal for Elvington properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Elvington. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about concrete-panel garages and lean-to roofs, including downpipes, cement gutters and ridge pieces.
In towns and villages like Elvington, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
After the job
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Keeping things safe:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Plan the new roof before removal
- File the waste paperwork
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

Do you cover Elvington?

Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
