Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Morestead
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Carport roofs
- Old, cracked sheets
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Block garages
Across Morestead, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
