Asbestos Garage Roof Removal in Ashby-De-La-Zouch, Leicestershire

You might be tempted to just knock those sheets off yourself during a weekend DIY project, but that is where the real danger lies. Asbestos cement is what we call a 'bonded' material, meaning the fibres are locked into the cement. However, as soon as you start drilling, sawing, or even just dropping these sheets, they break and release dust. Our approach focuses on keeping those fibres exactly where they belong—trapped. We use professional dust suppression techniques, often called 'wetting down,' using fibre-trapping agents to ensure the air stays clean while we work. Whether it's a small lean-to or a double garage, we handle every sheet with meticulous care to protect you, your family, and your neighbours.

When we arrive at your property in Ashby, we don't just start ripping things down. We follow a strict safety protocol aligned with HSE guidelines. First, we secure the area and put on our specialist PPE and RPE (that's our protective suits and respirators). We then carefully dampen the corrugated roofing to prevent any dust from rising. Each sheet is unscrewed or carefully removed—never smashed—and then immediately double-wrapped in heavy-duty polythene and sealed. We don't just clear the big stuff, either; we perform a detailed site clean-up, using fibre-trapping wipes to ensure no debris is left behind. You'll be left with a site that is clean, clear, and ready for your new GRP or box-profile roof to be installed.

Based just down the road near Bingham, we regularly serve clients throughout Ashby-De-La-Zouch, Coalville, and the wider North West Leicestershire area. Being a sole trader means you get a direct, accountable service from someone who truly cares about the reputation of the business. You won't be passed between call centres; you'll deal with the person doing the work. We're fully insured with Public Liability Insurance and are a Registered Waste Carrier. This means we don't just take the waste away; we dispose of it at authorised transfer stations and provide you with a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note. This legal document is your proof that the asbestos was handled and disposed of responsibly and legally.

While garage roofs are a common sight in Ashby gardens, asbestos turns up in plenty of other places too. We often find it in old shed panels, soffits, and even those old water tanks tucked away in the loft. If you're planning a bigger renovation, we also specialise in lifting asbestos-backed vinyl floor tiles and removing textured coatings like Artex from your ceilings. If you've found a pile of old cement debris in your garden or are worried about an old flue pipe, we can help with that too. We provide a full range of services including:

• Asbestos shed and outbuilding dismantling
• Safe removal of soffits and rainwater goods
• Floor tile and bitumen adhesive stripping
• Collection-only services for pre-wrapped asbestos waste
• Contaminated site clearance and debris removal
