Asbestos garage roof removal for North Looe properties
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. We often deal with cement wall panels, bargeboards and cement gutters, and people typically contact us about pieces of broken roof and garage conversions.
In a village like North Looe, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
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.
Common questions in North Looe
Do you cover North Looe from London?
We cover North Looe, about 13 miles from central London.
My garage in North Looe has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.

Afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
A few practical points:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- File the waste paperwork
Don’ts
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
