How asbestos garage roof removal works in Perrywood
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical jobs include garage blocks and single and double garage roofs, involving cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
Rural garages near Perrywood are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
For businesses and landlords in Perrywood
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you manage or own a block in Perrywood, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

What affects the price in Perrywood
Quotes vary because of:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much waste there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Travel and parking
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- An idea of size
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A photo of the whole area
Each job is priced individually. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 to get started.
The process
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion. In December, it’s dark in Perrywood by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

FAQs for Perrywood
Do older homes in Perrywood have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
