It is usually recognisable as a corrugated grey sheet, often weathered, mossy and brittle by now. Removal means taking the sheets down whole and undamaged wherever possible, rather than breaking them up, keeping the area contained while the work is going on, and then taking the material away for disposal in line with the regulations that apply to it, with the paperwork to show where it went. In almost every case the building still needs a roof afterwards, so the replacement covering is quoted at the same time and fitted once removal is complete, leaving you with a finished building rather than an open one. ### What We Offer - Removal of asbestos cement roof sheets and garage or outbuilding roofs - Safe handling, containment and legal disposal - Replacement roofing fitted once removal is complete - Removal of associated sheeting to gutters, verges and ridges - Free survey and a written quote covering removal, disposal and the new roofBook the free survey ## Why It Is Not A DIY Job Asbestos cement is at its most dangerous when it is broken, cut, drilled or dropped. Intact, weathered sheeting sitting on a garage is a very different proposition from the same sheeting after someone has put a hammer through it, and that is exactly what happens when a roof is taken off in a hurry. The second problem is what happens to the material afterwards. It cannot go in a skip, it cannot go to the tip with the rest of the strip-out, and disposing of it incorrectly is both an offence and a problem you have handed to someone else. It has to go to a site that takes it, with the transfer documented. Then there is the roof itself. Asbestos cement sheets are brittle with age and will not take the weight of a person: falls through corrugated roofs are one of the most common serious accidents in the trade. Working off the roof, not on it, is not optional. ### Where People Go Wrong - Breaking sheets up to make them easier to carry, which is the single worst thing that can be done with them. - Walking on a brittle corrugated roof instead of working from proper access below or alongside it. - Jet washing or wire brushing an asbestos cement roof to clean the moss off it. - Putting the sheets in a general skip or taking them to a household waste site. - Cutting or drilling the sheets on site to fit a new gutter or bracket. - Taking the roof off with no replacement covering arranged, leaving the building open to the weather. ## How A Removal Runs ### Step 1: Free survey We look at the building, the sheeting, the access and what sits below it, photograph the roof and confirm the scale of the job and what replacement covering is needed. ### Step 2: Written quote One written price covering removal, disposal and the replacement roof, so there is no separate bill arriving afterwards for taking the material away. ### Step 3: Set up and containment Access is set up so the roof is worked from safely, the area below is cleared and sheeted, and the working area is kept contained while sheets are coming down. ### Step 4: Careful removal Fixings are released and sheets are taken down whole rather than broken, kept damp where appropriate, lowered rather than dropped, and wrapped and sealed for transport. ### Step 5: Disposal and replacement The material goes for disposal in line with the regulations, and the new roof covering is fitted so the building is finished, watertight and back in use. ## What You Get ### One job, one price Removal, disposal and the replacement roof quoted together as a written quote rather than in stages. ### Taken down, not smashed out Sheets are released and lowered whole wherever they will come whole, which is the safest way to handle them. ### Disposed of properly The material leaves site for disposal in line with the regulations that apply to it, not in a general skip. ### A finished building You do not end up with an open garage or outbuilding waiting on a second contractor for the new covering. ### Site left clean The area below the roof is cleared and checked before we leave, including gutters and the ground around the building. ### Photographed throughout Before, during and after photographs, the same as every other job we carry out. ## Asbestos Roofing In Detail ### Where it turns up Corrugated asbestos cement was the standard cheap roof for anything that was not the house: detached garages, lean-to stores, workshops, stables, farm buildings, coal sheds and light industrial units. Across rural Anglesey, Llyn and the Conwy valley there is a great deal of it still in service. It also turns up as flat sheeting to soffits, garage side panels, gutter linings and infill panels, so a removal job is often more than just the roof plane itself. We identify all of it at survey rather than finding it halfway through. ### How the sheets come off The aim is always to remove sheets intact. Fixings are cut or released rather than levered, sheets are lifted clear individually, handled by two people where the size demands it, and lowered to ground level rather than dropped or slid. They are then wrapped and sealed rather than stacked loose, so nothing is shedding material while it is being loaded. Off-cuts, broken pieces and the debris in the gutters are collected as part of the same process, because that is where the loose material usually is. ### Disposal and paperwork Asbestos cement cannot be disposed of with ordinary construction waste. It goes to a facility licensed to receive it, and the transfer is documented, so you have a record of where the material from your building went. That documentation matters most for anyone letting, selling or running a commercial property, where the question of what happened to an asbestos roof is likely to be asked at some point in the future. ### The replacement roof Once the sheeting is off, the frame or purlins are inspected, because they are usually the same age as the roof and often need attention before a new covering goes on. Repairs to the structure are photographed and priced before they are carried out. Replacement is then chosen to suit the building: profiled sheeting on a garage, workshop or agricultural building, or a flat roof system, tiles or slate where the building sits alongside the house and needs to match it. We cover Bangor, Llangefni, Anglesey, Caernarfon, Conwy, Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, Denbigh and Betws-y-Coed. ### Free survey & quote Always free, always in writing, back to you same day or next. ### Written quote Quoted in writing for the work described.

Ask us directly on 07429 092432 How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?Grey corrugated cement sheeting on a garage, shed, workshop or farm building of a certain age very often is. We can look at it during the free survey and tell you what you are dealing with. Is it dangerous where it is?Intact, undisturbed asbestos cement sheeting is a very different thing from broken or cut sheeting. The risk comes from breaking it up, drilling it, cutting it or cleaning it, which is why it should be removed rather than worked on. Can I take it to the tip myself?No. It cannot go in a general skip or to a household waste site with the rest of the waste. It has to go to a facility that accepts it, and the transfer needs documenting. Do you fit the new roof as well?Yes. Removal, disposal and the replacement covering are quoted together, so the building is finished and watertight rather than left open. How long does a garage roof take?A typical single garage is usually a day for the removal and the new covering. Larger outbuildings and industrial roofs are quoted on their own scale after the survey. Do I have to move out or stay away?For a detached garage or outbuilding, no. We will agree with you what needs clearing from the building and keep the working area contained while the sheets are coming down. Can you repair an asbestos roof instead?We do not cut, drill or work into asbestos sheeting, because that is what releases fibres. Where a roof has failed, removal and replacement is the answer. What does it cost?It depends on the size of the roof, the access and the replacement covering. The survey and the written quote are free. ## Related Work - Flat Roof ReplacementA watertight flat roof built to the right system for your budget. - Roof Replacements & New RoofsA full new roof, written quote, guaranteed for 25 years. - Home ImprovementsProperty maintenance, decorating and improvements: no job too small.See all services ## Where We Work Asbestos Roof Removal across North Wales.
