Asbestos garage roof removal in Mansbridge
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. From lean-tos and carports and sheet garages, we deal with ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters and more.
In towns and villages like Mansbridge, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What we deal with in Mansbridge
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
In older properties, we often see:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Double garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Across Mansbridge, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.
Before you book anyone
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- If the price includes VAT
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Mansbridge
Do you work near Swaythling station?
Yes. Swaythling station is about 0.6 miles north-west of Mansbridge, and we cover both.
Could my house in Mansbridge contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Mansbridge may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Is my garage roof in Mansbridge asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

Helpful guides
A closer look at the materials
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
To avoid problems in future:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Avoid these
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Keep weight off the roof.
