Asbestos garage roof removal in St Ives
About our asbestos garage roof removal in St Ives
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s garages due a new roof and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we deal with bargeboards, cement wall panels and cement gutters.
In a village like St Ives, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Don’ts

St Ives questions
My garage in St Ives has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Could my house in St Ives contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Options to consider in St Ives
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
