Exeter Coverage: Asbestos Removal & Garage Roofs
Based just down the A379 in Dawlish, our veteran team works in Exeter several times a week. With over 45 years on the tools, we handle safe asbestos removal, licensed disposal, and complete garage roof rebuilds across the city and surrounding estates—with no deposit required on any job under £5,000.

How We Work in Exeter
Because our yard in Dawlish is only twenty minutes away via Starcross or Haldon Hill, getting a crew and a waste vehicle out to Exeter is straightforward. We cover both sides of the River Exe—from St Thomas, Alphington, and Exwick across to Heavitree, Pinhoe, Pennsylvania, and Topsham.
Access is usually the biggest practical factor when planning a job in the city. Many older streets around Mount Pleasant, St Leonards, and St Thomas have narrow rear service lanes, tight courtyard turns, or resident permit parking zones. Before we book your job in, we check where our van can legally and safely pull up so we are not carrying heavy, double-wrapped asbestos sheets long distances through a terraced house or blocking your neighbours.
What a Typical Visit Looks Like
- Quoting & Inspection: You can send us a couple of clear photos and rough measurements over the phone for a rapid ballpark figure, or we will pop round in person to check the timber purlins, rafters, and access route at no cost.
- Safe Dismantling: On the morning of the job, our operatives arrive in full PPE and respiratory gear. We damp down corrugated cement sheets or internal tiles to suppress airborne fibres, unbolt or carefully release the fixings without breaking the boards, and wrap everything in heavy-duty UN-approved polythene.
- Re-Roofing & Weatherproofing: If we are rebuilding your garage or outbuilding roof, we strip and re-roof on the same day so your belongings are never left exposed overnight. We fit treated timber battens, anti-condensation steel profile sheets or modern flat roofing, plus fresh uPVC fascias and rainwater guttering.
- Clean-Up & Consignment Note: We vacuum down ledges and floor areas, load all sealed waste directly onto our vehicle, and issue your official hazardous waste consignment note so you have proof of legal disposal for future property sales.
Please Note Regarding Asbestos Surveys
While we carry out all physical removal, collection, disposal, and roof replacement work in Exeter, we do not provide lab testing or formal asbestos management surveys. If you already know or suspect the material is asbestos cement or Artex and simply want it gone safely, we can handle the entire strip-out and disposal.
