Asbestos garage roof removal for Wissenden properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Wissenden tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical materials include bargeboards, downpipes and cement gutters, and typical jobs are roofs to clear before demolition and garages due a new roof.
In areas like Wissenden, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Duty holders and landlords in Wissenden
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you run a business from older premises in Wissenden, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
After we’ve finished in Wissenden
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone

Don’ts
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
