Asbestos garage roof removal for West End
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in West End
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and ridge pieces, and people normally contact us about storm-damaged sheets and single garages.
Rural garages near West End are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Your questions about garage roof removal in West End
Are garage roofs in West End usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do older homes in West End have asbestos?
Any home in West End built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
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.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How do I get a quote?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? 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. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
