Working in Totnes: Access, Steep Drives & Local Logistics
Because Totnes sits within our core 15-mile working radius of Dawlish, we are over the river and in the town most weeks. Whether you have a detached pre-fab garage up near Follaton, a stone outbuilding in Bridgetown, or an older lean-to shed tucked behind a property off The Narrows, we know the local layout and what it takes to get materials in and waste out without causing a headache for your neighbours.
Access is usually the biggest practical question in Totnes. Many properties sit on steep banks with stepped gardens, shared rear lanes, or tight parking where a standard skip lorry simply cannot fit. Because we use our own caged waste collection vehicles rather than relying on third-party skip hire, we can park safely on narrow residential streets, load the double-wrapped asbestos sheets straight onto the van as they come off the roof, and leave your driveway clear the same afternoon.
What a Typical Visit Looks Like
-
1
Straightforward Quoting: Send us a couple of photos and rough measurements over WhatsApp or email, or ask us to pop down to Totnes to measure up in person. Quotes are free and fixed-price, with no deposit required for work under £5,000.

Safe Dismantling: On the morning of the job, we lay heavy-duty polythene sheeting, wet down the cement panels with a fibre-suppressant spray, and unbolt the sheets whole—never smashing or sawing them.

New Roof Installation & Paperwork: If we are rebuilding the roof, we check the existing timbers, fit treated purlins where needed, and install Plastisol-coated steel profile sheets or modern GRP flat roofing before handing over your Environment Agency hazardous waste consignment note.
Important Note on Asbestos Surveys
We are practical roofers and licensed waste handlers, not asbestos surveyors. We do not carry out lab testing or pre-purchase homebuyer surveys. If you already know—or strongly suspect—that a corrugated garage roof, soffit board, floor tile, or Artex ceiling contains asbestos and you simply want it safely removed and replaced, we can price the job straight away.

What We Remove & Replace Around Totnes
Most of our call-outs in the TQ9 postcode involve ageing corrugated cement sheets on single or double garages, rural agricultural sheds, and domestic refurbishments where older interior materials have been uncovered.
Garage & Outbuilding Roofs
Full removal of moss-covered, cracked corrugated asbestos cement roofs and re-roofing with long-lasting steel profile sheets, anti-condensation backing, and new uPVC rainwater goods. Most single garages take just one day.
Asbestos Collection & Disposal
Found old sheets stacked behind a greenhouse or dismantled a shed roof yourself? We collect, double-bag in UN-approved hazardous sacks, and transport waste to a licensed transfer station with full paperwork.
Gutters, Downpipes & Soffits
Old grey asbestos cement hoppers, brittle downpipes, and under-eave soffit boards carefully unbolted from properties and swapped for clean, low-maintenance uPVC equivalents.
Floor & Ceiling Tiles
Lifting thermoplastic 9-inch vinyl floor tiles, bitumen adhesive residue, and suspended ceiling panels during kitchen, hallway, or shop refits in Totnes.
Artex Ceilings & Coatings
Controlled stripping and board removal of textured decorative coatings from ceilings and walls so your plasterer or electrician can crack on safely.
General Garage & Site Clearance
If your garage is packed with decades of damp timber, rusted tools, and general household junk under a leaking roof, our sister team can clear the contents at the same time.
Surrounding Towns & Villages We Cover
Alongside Totnes town centre and Bridgetown, our vans cover the wider South Hams, Torbay, and Teignbridge corridors—including Dartington, Harbertonford, Staverton, Berry Pomeroy, and Ashprington.
