Asbestos Removal & Garage Roof Replacements in Brixham
Based up the coast in Dawlish, our veteran roofing and asbestos team regularly works across Brixham and the wider Torbay peninsula. With over 45 years on the tools, we safely dismantle old corrugated cement roofs, clear asbestos tiles and gutters, and build watertight modern garage roofs—with no deposit required on jobs under £5,000.

Working on Properties in Brixham
Anyone who lives or works in Brixham knows the layout of the town brings two main practical considerations for roofing and waste work: exposed coastal weather and tight hill access. Properties higher up towards Furzeham, Higher Brixham, and St Mary's catch the full force of salt air and winter gales coming off the Channel. Over decades, this leaves older corrugated asbestos cement garage roofs brittle, porous, and heavy with wet moss, while rusting through the original steel hook bolts holding them down.
Access is the other big factor. Between the steeper narrow lanes above the harbour and the post-war housing estates out towards Churston and Galmpton—where garages are often built in shared battery rows or tucked down tight side-drives—getting old sheets out and new materials in takes proper planning.
How We Handle Access & Site Setup
- Pre-visit checks: Before we give you a fixed price, we check parking, turning room for our waste transit vehicles, and the carry distance from your garage or outbuilding to the road.
- Safe sheet dismantling: We never smash or drop asbestos cement. Our operatives wear full PPE and respirators, dampen the sheets down to stop fibre release, unbolt or crop the fixings carefully, and lower every sheet intact.
- Sealed transport & paperwork: All asbestos materials are double-wrapped in heavy-duty polythene on-site, loaded straight onto our vehicle, and taken to a licensed hazardous waste transfer station. You receive the Hazardous Waste Consignment Note for your property records.
- Please note on surveys: We carry out the physical removal, disposal, and roof replacement work, but we do not provide standalone asbestos testing or management surveys.
