Asbestos garage roof removal near Frieth
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Frieth tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. We often deal with downpipes, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and people generally contact us about concrete-panel garages and garage blocks.
In towns and villages like Frieth, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you manage or own a block in Frieth, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Keeping things safe:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Materials, one by one
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Frieth
Do older homes in Frieth have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Frieth has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you work in Frieth?
Yes, we do: our area includes Frieth and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Garage blocks
