Asbestos garage roof removal near Wigley
Asbestos garage roof removal near Wigley
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. People often contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and garages being knocked down, including cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
In areas like Wigley, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

For businesses and landlords in Wigley
For managing agents and freeholders in Wigley, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
What it might be made of
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
How we work
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down. Late-December sunset in Wigley is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Common questions in Wigley
Do you come out to small villages like Wigley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Wigley have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Wigley can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
After the job
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Don’ts
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- The type of material and its condition
- The category of work
- How much there is
- How many samples are needed
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Labels, if any
- A photo of the whole area
- The access route
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
For a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
Your options compared
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
