About our asbestos garage roof removal in Thorley Street
Many garages built before 2000, in Thorley Street and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. From sheet garages and brittle, leaking roofs, we deal with ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
Rural garages near Thorley Street are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Thorley Street
My garage in Thorley Street 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.
Do you come out to small villages like Thorley Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Thorley Street, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Materials, one by one
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are usually asbestos cement too.
What’s included, and what is not
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
