Asbestos garage roof removal in Holbrook
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Whether it’s concrete-panel garages and storm-damaged sheets, we cover cement wall panels, cement gutters and ridge pieces and more.
Garages around Holbrook may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Helpful guides
Holbrook: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Holbrook normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
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’re worried about your health.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are usually asbestos cement too.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
