Asbestos garage roof removal in Mount Pleasant
Many garages built before 2000, in Mount Pleasant and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. We often deal with ridge pieces, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are concrete-panel garages and old, cracked sheets.
Garages around Mount Pleasant may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Why people call us in Mount Pleasant
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.

- Garages in a row or block
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
If you let a house with a garage near Minster station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Helpful guides
Weighing up your options
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

FAQs for Mount Pleasant
Do you work near Minster station?
Yes. Minster station is about 1.1 miles south of Mount Pleasant, and we cover both.
Could my house in Mount Pleasant contain asbestos?
If your home in Mount Pleasant 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 remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Is my garage roof in Mount Pleasant asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How we price garage roof removal
The cost depends on:
- The quantity or area
- How easy it is to reach
- The survey scope
- The type of material and its condition
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Photos that help
For a quick quote, include:
- How we’d reach it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Damaged areas
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
