Asbestos garage roof removal in Well Head
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Well Head
If you are not sure your garage roof in Well Head is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Whether it’s garage conversions and prefab garages with cement walls, we deal with bargeboards, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
In areas like Well Head, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What we deal with in Well Head
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Garages due for demolition
- Sheet garages
- Garage conversions
- Pieces of broken roof
Across Well Head, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

After we’ve finished in Well Head
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.

Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Ridge pieces

Well Head: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Well Head homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Well Head?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
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.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
