Why people call us in Lydden
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Carport roofs
- Garages in a row or block

What happens

- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
