Asbestos garage roof removal in Puckaster
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical jobs include sheet garages and pieces of broken roof, involving bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In a village like Puckaster, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
What we do and don’t cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- High winds can delay roof work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards

Common questions in Puckaster
Do you come out to small villages like Puckaster?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Puckaster homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Puckaster may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Materials we deal with
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
