About our asbestos garage roof removal in The Haven
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about sheet garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, involving downpipes, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
Garages around The Haven may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

The Haven questions
My garage in The Haven has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Could my house in The Haven contain asbestos?
Any home in The Haven built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you cover The Haven?
Yes, The Haven is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- High winds can delay roof work
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
