Asbestos garage roof removal for Woodmancote properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. We often deal with bargeboards, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are lean-to roofs and sheet garages.
In areas like Woodmancote, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
