Weighing up your options
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Clear written quotes
- Accredited laboratory results

A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Maypole: your questions answered
How far is Maypole from London?
Maypole is about 55 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Maypole?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Is my garage roof in Maypole asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
