Asbestos Removal & Garage Roof Replacements in Exmouth
We are right across the Exe Estuary in Dawlish, meaning our team regularly works across Exmouth (EX8) and the surrounding East Devon coast. From stripping out old corrugated cement garage roofs to clearing asbestos soffits, floor tiles, and Artex ceilings, we handle the whole job safely and leave you with a clean, dry, modern roof.

How We Work Across Exmouth & East Devon
Although you can see Exmouth right across the water from our base in Dawlish, we run our vans up around the estuary via the M5 and down the A376. Because it is an easy run for our crew, we treat Exmouth as part of our core local patch—meaning we don't charge inflated call-out fees just to come and price up a job.
Much of our work in Exmouth involves post-war bungalows and family houses around Littleham, Brixington, and Withycombe Raleigh that still have their original concrete sectional garages or rear lean-to outbuildings. After forty or fifty winters of salt air and coastal gales coming off the seafront, those old corrugated asbestos cement sheets become brittle, porous, and thick with heavy moss. Once water starts tracking through the bolt holes or the timber purlins begin to rot, patching them up isn't a safe or lasting option.
We also work around the tighter residential streets near The Colony and the town centre, where rear access is often down a narrow shared lane or through a terraced garden. Before we start, we check where we can safely park our transit vans, how far sheets need to be carried, and where our mobile tower scaffold will sit so we don't block your neighbours in.
Important Note on Asbestos Surveys:
We are hands-on removal and roofing contractors, not surveyors. We do not carry out testing or asbestos surveys, so if you need a formal sampling report for a mortgage or house sale, you will need an independent surveyor first. If you already know—or strongly suspect—the roof or material is asbestos and simply want it safely removed and replaced, we can give you a fixed price right away.
What a Typical Visit in Exmouth Looks Like
-
1
Free Site Check or Photo Quote We pop over to measure the garage or outbuilding, check the timber steels/purlins underneath, and look at access. For straightforward single garages, we can often give a firm price from a few clear photos before we visit.
-
2
Damping Down & Careful Unbolting On the day, our operatives wear full PPE and respirators. We wet the cement sheets to stop fibre release, unbolt or crop the fixings without smashing the sheets, and lower them intact.
-
3
Sealed Wrapping & Paperwork Every sheet and bag of gutter debris is double-wrapped in heavy-duty polythene, sealed, and loaded onto our vehicle for licensed hazardous waste transfer. You get the disposal paperwork for your house records.

4
Fitting the New Roof Same-Day If we are replacing the roof, we fit treated timber purlins where needed and install plastisol-coated steel corrugated sheets, translucent skylights, bargeboards, and uPVC guttering—usually leaving you watertight the very same afternoon.

Why Homeowners in Exmouth Use Us
Taking corrugated asbestos sheets to the local recycling centre on Salterton Road is a headache for homeowners—strict council booking rules, sheet-size limits, and heavy lifting mean most people would rather not risk breaking sheets in the back of their own car.
When we take on a job in Exmouth, you don't pay a penny upfront for any work under £5,000. You only settle up once the old asbestos is safely wrapped on our truck, your new garage roof is bolted down and watertight, and the driveway is swept clean of any nails or moss.
