Asbestos garage roof removal for Singleton properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Singleton tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s concrete-panel garages and garage blocks, we deal with cement gutters, downpipes and ridge pieces.
In places like Singleton, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Singleton: your questions answered
How far is Singleton from London?
We cover Singleton, about 50 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Singleton normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Step by step
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum. In December, it’s dark in Singleton by about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Find any old asbestos reports
Getting a price
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
