About our asbestos garage roof removal in Jacob's Post
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Common materials are ridge pieces, cement gutters and bargeboards, and typical jobs are cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and concrete-panel garages.
In a village like Jacob's Post, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Jacob's Post must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Things not to do
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Weighing up your options
Removal first, then the new roof, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What you get
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Reports and results you can share

Why people call us in Jacob's Post
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Double garages
- Garage blocks
- Broken sheets after high winds
Near open spaces such as Bedelands Farm Nature Reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
