Asbestos garage roof removal near Parkgate
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include lean-to roofs and block garages, involving cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters.
Rural garages near Parkgate are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

A closer look at the materials
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels

Questions from Parkgate
Do you cover small places like Parkgate?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Parkgate from London?
Parkgate is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

- Accredited laboratory results
See how we quote or published price ranges.
Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Double garages
- Carport roofs
- Garage blocks
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
What to look for in a quote
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Whether VAT is included
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
