About our asbestos garage roof removal in Guestling
Single, double and block garages, lean-tos and carports in Guestling all have roofs like these. Tell us the size and send photos. We often deal with cement wall panels, ridge pieces and downpipes, and people generally contact us about garages being knocked down and concrete-panel garages.
In a village like Guestling, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar 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.

What else we do in Guestling
Duty holders and landlords in Guestling
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Guestling
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
These come up again and again:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Lean-tos and carports
- Single and double garage roofs
Properties near Church Wood and Robsack Wood may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Guestling questions
Do you cover small places like Guestling?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Guestling contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Guestling can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
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; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
How we price garage roof removal
We base our quote on:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How many samples are needed
- Disposal costs
- Travel and parking
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An idea of size
- Labels, if any
- Where we could park
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
