Asbestos garage roof removal in Sole Street
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are storm-damaged sheets and garages due for demolition.
Garages around Sole Street may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
For businesses and landlords in Sole Street
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Sole Street, 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 Sole Street
Could my house in Sole Street contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Sole Street can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Sole Street station?
Yes. Sole Street station is close to the centre of Sole Street, and we cover the whole area.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you remove the whole garage?
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.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
