Our asbestos garage roof removal in TN13
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around TN13. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include single and double garage roofs and carport roofs, involving ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, because safety comes first.
- Tell us the size of the garage and the access
- We work out how to reach the roof safely
- We time it around your roofer
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- You get the waste paperwork

Choosing the right option
What about painting or overcladding? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Our guide covers the options.

Can I do it myself?

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

FAQs for TN13
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
