About our asbestos garage roof removal in West Tisted
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Typical materials include downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and people usually contact us about single garages and block garages.
Rural garages near West Tisted are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

West Tisted questions
Are garage roofs in West Tisted normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do older homes in West Tisted have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
