Asbestos help in Holmethorpe
Asbestos garage roof removal near Holmethorpe
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Holmethorpe tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Whether it’s sheet garages and single and double garage roofs, we deal with cement wall panels, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets and more.
In Holmethorpe, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Do you cover Holmethorpe from London?
Holmethorpe is about 17 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
Do you work in Holmethorpe?

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- High winds can delay roof work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
