Need garage roof removal in Princelett?
What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- File the waste paperwork
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Never cut or break the sheets.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Princelett
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement gutters, and typical jobs are garages before a new roof or conversion and pieces of broken roof.
In towns and villages like Princelett, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.

We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
