Asbestos Garage Roof Removal in Sandiacre, Derbyshire

Most of the garage roofs we see around Derbyshire are made of 'bonded' asbestos cement. This means the dangerous fibres are locked inside a hard material. However, problems start when these sheets are drilled into, sawn, or simply become brittle with age. When they break, they can release microscopic fibres into the air which, if inhaled, lead to serious health issues like asbestosis or mesothelioma. This is exactly why we always tell homeowners: please don't try to tackle this as a DIY project. It might look like a simple case of unbolting a few sheets, but without the right equipment and training, you could be putting yourself and your family at risk. We use specialist techniques to ensure that any fibre release is minimised and that the job is done right the first time.

You might be wondering how we actually get the job done without making a mess. We don't just show up and start pulling things apart. Our process is built around safety and following strict HSE guidelines. First, we use a technique called 'wetting down' or applying a suppressant liquid. This keeps the material damp and prevents any dust from becoming airborne during the removal. We wear full specialist PPE and RPE (Respiratory Protective Equipment) throughout the entire task. Once the corrugated asbestos roofing is carefully removed, we don't just chuck it in a van. Every sheet and fragment is double-wrapped in heavy-duty plastic and sealed. We then perform a thorough site clean-up, using fibre-trapping wipes to ensure the area is completely clear and safe for you to walk on again.
