Asbestos Removal & Garage Roof Replacements in Chudleigh
Based just over Haldon Hill in Dawlish, our veteran team of roofers and asbestos specialists regularly work across Chudleigh, Chudleigh Knighton, and the surrounding Teign Valley. With over 45 years on the tools, we dismantle old asbestos cement roofs, fit modern replacement sheeting, and clear hazardous materials safely with no deposit needed on jobs under £5,000.

Working on Properties Around Chudleigh
Because our yard in Dawlish is only about 10 miles away via the B3192 and the A38, getting a van and crew over to Chudleigh is straightforward. We spend a lot of time working on post-war estates and older properties around the town where corrugated asbestos cement sheets were the standard material for single and double garages, lean-to extensions, and garden sheds.
After forty or fifty winters, those old fibre-cement sheets become brittle, porous, and heavy with wet moss. We often get called out to Chudleigh when a garage roof starts dripping onto tools or a car, when original asbestos rainwater gutters crack at the joints, or when a homebuyer's survey flags up old corrugated sheeting or internal Artex ceilings before a sale can go through.
Site Access & Parking Considerations in Town
Every street in Chudleigh sets a slightly different access job. Around the historic town centre—near Fore Street, Old Exeter Street, and the narrower lanes off Culver Street—parking a long-wheelbase waste transit right outside the front door isn't always possible, and rear garden outbuildings often only have a side alley or stepped access. Where we cannot reverse straight up to a garage door, our team sheets down the route from the outbuilding to the van and carries each wrapped panel out by hand so nothing is dragged or broken on your path.
On newer residential cul-de-sacs and estates—or out towards Chudleigh Knighton, Trusham, and rural plots near Ugbrooke—we frequently deal with garages built into sloping gardens or en-bloc rows shared with neighbours. If your garage shares a party wall or continuous roof line with next door, we fit proper weatherproof flashing and trims at the join so both sides stay dry once your new steel or plastisol sheets are screwed down.
What a Visit From Our Team Looks Like
- 1. Free Quote & Inspection: Call us or send over a couple of photos with rough measurements. For larger or awkward roofs in Chudleigh, we pop over to measure up and check timber purlins and access in person.
- 2. Safe Dismantling (No Smashing): On the day, our operatives wear full PPE and respirators. We dampen down the sheets, unbolt or crop the old fixings, and lower whole sheets intact to keep fibres locked in.
- 3. Bagging & Paperwork: All asbestos cement, ridge caps, and guttering are sealed in heavy-duty UN-approved polythene and taken to a licensed facility, with waste consignment paperwork provided for your records.
- 4. Same-Day Re-Roofing: Most standard single or double garage roof replacements in Chudleigh are stripped and re-sheeted with durable modern corrugated metal and matching trims in a single day.
Please note: While we handle all removal, disposal, and roof rebuilding, we do not carry out formal asbestos testing or diagnostic surveys.
