How asbestos garage roof removal works in Westmarsh
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Whether it’s garages due for demolition and lean-to roofs, we deal with bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels and more.
Garages around Westmarsh may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Common questions in Westmarsh
Is asbestos common in Westmarsh homes?
If your home in Westmarsh was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Westmarsh?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What does licensed work mean?
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.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
For businesses and landlords in Westmarsh
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Westmarsh, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
