Asbestos garage roof removal for Weston properties
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Weston is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. People often contact us about lean-tos and carports and garage conversions, involving downpipes, bargeboards and cement gutters.
In a smaller place like Weston, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is generally simple to plan. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Questions from Weston
Do you cover Weston and the area around Sholing station?
Yes. Sholing station is about 0.8 miles north of Weston, and we cover both.
How far is Weston from London?
Weston is about 70 miles from central London, well within our area.
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.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
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. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Also near Weston
After we’ve finished in Weston
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Keep weight off the roof.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
