DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

Questions from Martin
Are garage roofs in Martin typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Could my house in Martin contain asbestos?
Any home in Martin built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is generally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What we deal with in Martin
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garage blocks
- Carport roofs
Older houses in Martin, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.
