Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
A few practical points:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep pets and children inside
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Things not to do
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Thorncombe Street
Do you cover small places like Thorncombe Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Thorncombe Street have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Thorncombe Street can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
