About our asbestos garage roof removal in Fingest
Many garages built before 2000, in Fingest and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical materials include ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes, and people typically contact us about broken sheets after high winds and brittle, leaking roofs.
Garages around Fingest may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

What we do and don’t cover
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Different materials need a different approach
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials in Fingest

- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Fingest
Could my house in Fingest contain asbestos?
Any home in Fingest built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My garage in Fingest has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
