How asbestos garage roof removal works in St Ann's
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. From single garages and storm-damaged sheets, we cover ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards and more.
In St Ann's, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Choosing the right option
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in St Ann's, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Looking after things afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
A few practical points:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

St Ann's: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in St Ann's typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in St Ann's have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in St Ann's may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is my garage roof in St Ann's asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
