About our asbestos garage roof removal in Great Holcombe
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Great Holcombe. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. From brittle, leaking roofs and garages in a row or block, we cover cement wall panels, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Great Holcombe, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

FAQs for Great Holcombe
Do you come out to small villages like Great Holcombe?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Great Holcombe contain asbestos?
Any home in Great Holcombe built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
How do I get a quote?
Just 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.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.

What happens next
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
To avoid problems in future:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- File the waste paperwork
- Give us a rough size
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Roof felt
We will say if it should be tested.
Choosing the right option
Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion typically mean removal. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What you get
- Accredited laboratory results
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Clear advice on your options
- Reports and results you can share

Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
