How asbestos garage roof removal works in Slinfold
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Slinfold tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From garages due a new roof and broken sheets after high winds, we cover bargeboards, downpipes and cement gutters and more.
Rural garages near Slinfold are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We only recommend work that’s needed.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Slinfold: your questions answered
My garage in Slinfold has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Could my house in Slinfold contain asbestos?
Any home in Slinfold built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Do you cover Slinfold?
Yes, Slinfold is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Slinfold
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
These are some of the things we deal with in Slinfold:
- Garages due a new roof
- Lean-tos and carports
- Concrete-panel garages
- Storm-damaged sheets
Across Slinfold, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Before you book anyone
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- The documents you’ll receive
- The method and controls
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
How it works
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. Late-December sunset in Slinfold is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
