Asbestos garage roof removal near Staplers
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. From single and double garage roofs and carport roofs, we deal with cement gutters, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
Homes in towns and villages like Staplers often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Duty holders and landlords in Staplers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Looking after things afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Don’ts
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Staplers: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Staplers homes?
Any home in Staplers built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My garage in Staplers has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
