Asbestos garage roof removal near Letcombe Regis
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. People often contact us about carport roofs and garages due for demolition, including cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In areas like Letcombe Regis, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
A few practical points:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Questions from Letcombe Regis
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Letcombe Regis from London?
Letcombe Regis is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Is my garage roof in Letcombe Regis asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
