Asbestos garage roof removal in Lodge Lees
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Lodge Lees properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Common materials are ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards, and people normally contact us about single and double garage roofs and lean-tos and carports.
In towns and villages like Lodge Lees, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
If your business premises in Lodge Lees were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Your options compared
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What you get
- Work done to the regulations
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
