Working on Outbuildings & Garages Around Ashburton
Sitting right on the southern edge of Dartmoor, Ashburton gets its fair share of driving wind and heavy rain off the moor. Over the years, we have seen plenty of older concrete panel garages, stone outbuildings, and garden workshops in the town where corrugated asbestos cement roofs have finally given up—cracking around the hook bolts, growing thick moss, and letting water drip onto whatever is stored underneath.
Because our yard in Dawlish is within roughly 15 miles, getting a crew out to Ashburton is straightforward. We know that access around the town centre—especially off North Street, East Street, and the older lanes tucked behind St Lawrence Lane—can be tight for larger vehicles. Before we start, we check where we can safely park our waste transit vans, how far the carry is from your garden or garage block, and whether we need compact mobile scaffolding to work safely without blocking a shared drive.
Note that while we handle all the hands-on dismantling, bagging, licensed disposal, and new roof fitting, we do not carry out formal asbestos testing or management surveys. If you already know—or strongly suspect—your garage roof, shed, or ceiling is asbestos cement and simply want it safely gone and replaced, we can price it up for you free of charge.
What a typical visit to Ashburton looks like:
- Straightforward quoting: Send us a couple of photos and rough measurements, or have us pop over from Dawlish to measure up in person.
- Careful preparation: On the day, our operatives wear full PPE and respirators, lay down heavy-duty sheeting, and damp down the panels so fibres stay locked in.
- Intact removal: We unbolt and lower corrugated sheets whole wherever possible—never smashing them up—before double-wrapping them in UN-approved polythene.
- Rebuilding the roof: If you are having a replacement roof fitted, we check the timber purlins or trusses and install modern plastisol-coated steel, box profile sheets, or fibreglass rooflights so the garage is watertight the same day.
- Clean handover: We vacuum down ledges and paths, haul the sealed waste straight to a licensed facility, and issue your official hazardous waste consignment note.

Common Questions About Bookings in Ashburton
How long does a standard single or double garage roof take?
Most domestic garage roof removals in Ashburton are stripped, wrapped, and loaded in half a day. If we are also fitting a new corrugated metal roof, timber purlins, and guttering, we usually finish the whole job within one to two days so your garage isn't left open to the Dartmoor weather overnight.
Do I need a skip on my drive or a council permit?
No. We load all double-wrapped asbestos sheets and waste straight onto our own enclosed vehicles and take them away the same day. That saves you paying for skip permits on narrow streets in Ashburton and prevents anyone tampering with hazardous waste outside your house.
My garage is in a shared block—can you still replace the roof?
Yes, we regularly work on terraced garage rows. We carefully separate the sheets at the party wall junction, install proper weatherproof flashing between your new roof and the neighbour's roof, and make sure the join is completely watertight.
When do I pay for the work?
For any job under £5,000, we do not ask for a penny upfront. You only pay once the asbestos is safely off your property, the new roof (if ordered) is fitted, and you are happy with the tidy-up.
