Asbestos garage roof removal for Sandy Down properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Sandy Down tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s garages due for demolition and broken sheets after high winds, we deal with cement wall panels, bargeboards and cement gutters.
In towns and villages like Sandy Down, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Sandy Down
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Typical jobs in Sandy Down include:
- Garages being knocked down
- Sheet garages
- Garages in a row or block
- Old, cracked sheets
Near open spaces such as Boldre Foreshore, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
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.

Questions from Sandy Down
My garage in Sandy Down has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Sandy Down?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is my garage roof in Sandy Down asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
