About our asbestos garage roof removal in Pitchcott
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. We often deal with cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and people usually contact us about garages due a new roof and sheet garages.
In places like Pitchcott, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing. We plan garage roof jobs in Pitchcott for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.

Is garage roof removal licensed work?

How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
