DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Options to consider in Westerton
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Our quotes are clear about VAT.

Questions from Westerton
Do you cover small places like Westerton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Are garage roofs in Westerton usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Is my garage roof in Westerton asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
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.

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These come up again and again:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages being knocked down
- Garage conversions
- Old, cracked sheets
In Westerton, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Looking after things afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
After we’ve finished:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Don’ts
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
