Weighing up your options
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Our quotes are clear about VAT.

Wannock: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Wannock?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Polegate station?
Yes. Polegate station is about 0.8 miles north-east of Wannock, and we cover both.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Good to know
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- High winds can delay roof work
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
How it works
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. In December, it’s dark in Wannock by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Clear the way to the work area
- Dig out previous surveys
- Move things out of the way carefully
How to get a quote
You’ll get a written quote. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details.
Helpful guides
Why people call us in Wannock
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Single garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Sheet garages
Near open spaces such as Combe Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

What else we do in Wannock
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
To avoid problems in future:
- File the waste paperwork
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
