Asbestos garage roof removal in Mount Pleasant
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical materials include cement gutters, bargeboards and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and carport roofs.
In towns and villages like Mount Pleasant, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Common questions in Mount Pleasant
How far is Mount Pleasant from London?
We cover Mount Pleasant, about 40 miles from central London.
Could my house in Mount Pleasant contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Mount Pleasant may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
What happens next
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- File the waste paperwork
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Step by step
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down. Late-December sunset in Mount Pleasant is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
