Asbestos garage roof removal in Exton
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Exton
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and bargeboards, and typical jobs are old, cracked sheets and pieces of broken roof.
In a village like Exton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

The process
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. Late-December sunset in Exton is about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Getting ready
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Let us know if something’s broken

Exton questions
Are garage roofs in Exton usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover small places like Exton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- The size of the job
- How many samples are needed
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Location, parking and any London charges
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- The parking area
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Cracks or breaks
- An idea of size

Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Exton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

What happens next
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
