For businesses and landlords in Heart's Delight
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Heart's Delight
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical jobs include garage conversions and roofs to clear before demolition, including ridge pieces, bargeboards and downpipes.
Garages around Heart's Delight may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Helpful guides
What we deal with in Heart's Delight
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Garages due for demolition
- Carport roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garage blocks
In Heart's Delight, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
What to look for in a quote
- How fibres will be kept down

What affects the price in Heart's Delight
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space

Your questions about garage roof removal in Heart's Delight
Are garage roofs in Heart's Delight usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like Heart's Delight?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
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.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What we do and do not cover
Before you book, note that:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
