Asbestos garage roof removal near Moulsecoomb
Should you do it yourself?
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.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Moulsecoomb properties
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. From carport roofs and garages before a new roof or conversion, we cover corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and downpipes.
In Moulsecoomb, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Some practical advice:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep pets and children inside
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Moulsecoomb
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Garages due for demolition
- Single and double garage roofs
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garage blocks
Across Moulsecoomb, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.
