How asbestos garage roof removal works in Lockerley
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From block garages and garage conversions, we cover ridge pieces, cement gutters and bargeboards.
In towns and villages like Lockerley, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

FAQs for Lockerley
Do you come out to small villages like Lockerley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Are garage roofs in Lockerley usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
What happens next
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Going forward:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- File the waste paperwork
- Book your roofer in advance
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
