Asbestos Garage Roof Removal
Safe, Licensed Removal & Disposal for Garages in Exeter, Torbay & Across Devon
If your garage or outbuilding has a corrugated cement roof installed before the year 2000, it almost certainly contains asbestos. While the material may appear harmless, disturbing it—during DIY work, repairs, or deterioration—releases microscopic, dangerous fibres. For homeowners and landlords in Exeter, Torbay, and Devon, the safest and most legally compliant choice is professional removal.

The Danger of Disturbed Garage Asbestos
- Cracked or Damaged: Weathering and age cause the material to break down.
- Cut or Broken: Any DIY attempt to remove or repair the roof is highly dangerous, as this immediately releases fibres.
- Leaking: Water damage accelerates the degradation of the cement sheets.
Our Simple 3-Step Licensed Removal Process
We have streamlined our process to be efficient, safe, and cause minimal disruption to your home life.
1. Safety Inspection & Preparation
We start with a thorough on-site safety assessment of the garage roof and the surrounding area. We then isolate the workspace, set up exclusion zones, and apply specialist solutions to the material to suppress any potential fibre release during removal.
2. Controlled Removal
Our trained specialists, using full protective equipment (PPE), carefully remove the asbestos panels. Our primary goal is to keep the sheets whole to prevent breakage and fibre release. All panels are immediately wrapped and sealed in heavy-duty hazardous waste bags while still on the roof structure.
3. Certified Disposal
The sealed asbestos waste is transported directly from your property to a licensed hazardous waste transfer station. We then issue you with the mandatory Consignment Note, which is your legal proof that the hazardous waste has been disposed of safely and compliantly, fulfilling your responsibility as the homeowner.
