About our asbestos garage roof removal in Goodnestone
If you are not sure your garage roof in Goodnestone is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. People often contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and concrete-panel garages, involving downpipes, cement wall panels and ridge pieces.
Garages around Goodnestone may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

How it works
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, then loaded for disposal. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In December, it’s dark in Goodnestone by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Typical garage roof jobs in Goodnestone
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages due a new roof
- Garages in a row or block
- Old, cracked sheets
- Roofs to clear before demolition
For rented homes with garages close to Adisham station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Materials we deal with
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Goodnestone
Do you cover small places like Goodnestone?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Goodnestone and the area around Adisham station?
Yes. Adisham station is about 1.5 miles west of Goodnestone, and we cover both.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
- 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
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
