Asbestos garage roof removal in Pootings
How it works
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. Late-December sunset in Pootings is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- 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
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Getting ready
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

For businesses and landlords in Pootings
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Which option is right?
DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why us?
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Records for your files
- Identify first, remove only when needed
Take a look at our prices page and our cost guide.
Looking after things afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep weight off the roof.

Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you help with a shop or office?

My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
DIY and asbestos
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.
