Asbestos garage roof removal in Sarsden
Asbestos garage roof removal near Sarsden
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Sarsden. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Whether it’s brittle, leaking roofs and single and double garage roofs, we deal with cement wall panels, cement gutters and downpipes.
In places like Sarsden, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Your options compared
What about painting or overcladding? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Our guide covers the options. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Sarsden
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Lean-to roofs
- Pieces of broken roof
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
If you let a house with a garage near Kingham station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Sarsden were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Sarsden, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Sarsden
My garage in Sarsden has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is Sarsden from London?
Sarsden is about 70 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you cover Sarsden?
Yes, we do: our area includes Sarsden and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How do I know if my garage roof is 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.
