Asbestos garage roof removal in Pixham
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. From garages due a new roof and concrete-panel garages, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and ridge pieces and more.
In areas like Pixham, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

How it works
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. In December, it’s dark in Pixham by about 3:55pm, 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
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Tell us about parking and access
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Things not to do
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Pixham questions
Could my house in Pixham contain asbestos?
If your home in Pixham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Pixham from London?
Pixham is about 20 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
