Asbestos garage roof removal for Horseport properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. People often contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and roofs to clear before demolition, involving ridge pieces, cement gutters and downpipes.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
The process
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down. In December, it’s dark in Horseport by about 4:05pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- File the waste paperwork
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
What’s included, and what isn’t
We are upfront about what’s included:

Your questions about garage roof removal in Horseport
Do you come out to small villages like Horseport?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in Horseport has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Could my home contain 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.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
