Asbestos garage roof removal for Havenstreet
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Havenstreet
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Havenstreet. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and ridge pieces, and people usually contact us about concrete-panel garages and pieces of broken roof.
In a village like Havenstreet, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Near open spaces such as Briddlesford Nature Reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together. Older houses in Havenstreet, near St. Peter's Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs. The sea is within about 3 miles, and on exposed sites wind decides when roof sheets can be taken down safely.

Havenstreet: your questions answered
My garage in Havenstreet has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do older homes in Havenstreet have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
A few practical points:
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Plan the new roof before removal
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep weight off the roof.
What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are usually asbestos cement too.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
