Asbestos garage roof removal near Waterside
After we’ve finished in Waterside
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- File the waste paperwork
Don’ts
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Waterside
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Waterside tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. We often deal with downpipes, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are lean-tos and carports and block garages.
Garages around Waterside may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Different materials need a different approach
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Waterside: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Waterside homes?
Any home in Waterside built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
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.
Is my garage roof in Waterside asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
