How asbestos garage roof removal works in Lidsey
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Lidsey tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. We often deal with bargeboards, downpipes and cement gutters, and typical jobs are storm-damaged sheets and brittle, leaking roofs.
In a village like Lidsey, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Lidsey
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
In older properties, we often see:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Lean-tos and carports
- Block garages
Older houses in Lidsey, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.
Before you book anyone
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What paperwork you get
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
