Asbestos garage roof removal in Slutshole
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and ridge pieces, and people normally contact us about garages due for demolition and block garages.
Garages around Slutshole may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Different materials need a different approach
- High winds can delay roof work

Slutshole questions
Do you work near Selling station?
Yes, we cover Slutshole and the area towards Selling station, about 2.1 miles south.
My garage in Slutshole has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is normally quick once we are set up.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are normally asbestos cement too.
The process
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Slutshole is about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- 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
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Let us know if something’s broken
