Asbestos garage roof removal in Gibraltar
A closer look at the materials
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Gibraltar
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Gibraltar is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. From garages before a new roof or conversion and lean-tos and carports, we deal with cement gutters, downpipes and bargeboards.
Rural garages near Gibraltar are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Looking after things afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Once we are done:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Give us a rough size
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Your options compared
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.

Duty holders and landlords in Gibraltar
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Step by step
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, then loaded for disposal. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. Late-December sunset in Gibraltar is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Gibraltar
Are garage roofs in Gibraltar usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like Gibraltar?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Is my garage roof in Gibraltar asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Gibraltar garages: local notes
Gibraltar is about 3 miles south-west of Haydon Hill, in Buckinghamshire. Gibraltar is within our Buckinghamshire area, whatever the size of the job. We work in 263 places across Buckinghamshire. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 14 miles away.
Around Snakemoor, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once. If you let a house with a garage near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it. Gibraltar is within about 8 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way.
This part of Buckinghamshire takes in HP17 and HP18. That could mean a property on New Road, Brogan Place and Donnington Row or the roads around them. If your property is just outside Gibraltar, we also cover Cuddington (1 mile west), Haddenham (2 miles south-west), Chearsley (2 miles west), Kingsey (3 miles south) and Towersey (4 miles south-west). Further out, we also cover Aylesbury (4 miles north-east), High Wycombe (13 miles south-east), Chesham (14 miles south-east), Buckingham (15 miles north), Amersham (15 miles south-east) and Elmhurst (5 miles north-east).
A little further out are St John's Hospital (1.4 miles north-east) and Dinton Castle (0.6 miles north-east). Within reach you’ll find Snakemoor.
- Local pubs include The Seven Stars Public House (within half a mile south-east)
