Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Why people call us in Holmwood Corner
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garages due a new roof
- Double garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Prefab garages with cement walls
Across Holmwood Corner, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.

Which option is right?
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
