About our asbestos garage roof removal in Enslow
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Enslow. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. From brittle, leaking roofs and pieces of broken roof, we deal with ridge pieces, cement gutters and cement wall panels and more.
In a village like Enslow, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Once we’re done:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
What to avoid
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
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.
What it might be made of
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Enslow
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Lean-to roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Pieces of broken roof
Properties near Woodsides Meadow may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together.

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
