Asbestos garage roof removal for Holborough
Asbestos garage roof removal near Holborough
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s prefab garages with cement walls and carport roofs, we deal with cement wall panels, ridge pieces and downpipes.
In places like Holborough, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Why people call us in Holborough
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These come up again and again:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages being knocked down
- Lean-tos and carports
In Holborough, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Questions to ask before booking
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What category of work it is
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Step by step
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. In December, it’s dark in Holborough by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We check it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken away, and you get the consignment note
Getting ready

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Holborough, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
