Asbestos garage roof removal near Fant
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical materials include bargeboards, downpipes and cement gutters, and people generally contact us about single garages and concrete-panel garages.
In areas like Fant, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is normally simple to plan. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Common questions in Fant
Do older homes in Fant have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Fant can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Fant has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.

Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
After the job
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
A few practical points:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let us know where we can park
- Book your roofer in advance
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
What to avoid
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- The quantity or area
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Parking and access charges
- How easy it is to reach
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- The parking area
- Labels, if any
- An idea of size
Every job is quoted in writing. Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages in a row or block
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages due for demolition
- Concrete-panel garages
Older houses in Fant, near Parish Church of St Andrew or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.
Before you book anyone
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Whether VAT is included
Options to consider in Fant
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
