Why people call us in Monk's Gate
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage blocks
- Garages due a new roof
- Garages being knocked down
- Brittle, leaking roofs
Older houses in Monk's Gate, near Church of the Good Shepherd or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Monk's Gate questions
My garage in Monk's Gate has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is asbestos common in Monk's Gate homes?
If your home in Monk's Gate was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is typically quick once we’re set up.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
