Asbestos garage roof removal near Finkley
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include bargeboards, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are garage blocks and garages due a new roof.
In a village like Finkley, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What we deal with in Finkley

Around Anton Lakes, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.

FAQs for Finkley
Could my house in Finkley contain asbestos?
If your home in Finkley was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Finkley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- High winds can delay roof work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Helpful guides
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are generally asbestos cement too.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Duty holders and landlords in Finkley
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Finkley must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Plan the new roof before removal
