Dealing with old corrugated cement sheets, Artex ceilings, or perished garage roofs can feel daunting if you have never had to sort it before. We have put together these plain-English guides covering costs, preparation, safe disposal, and modern replacement options.
What to Know Before Touching Suspected Asbestos
If you have an older garage, shed, or extension with grey corrugated cement sheets, old vinyl floor tiles, or textured Artex coatings, the golden rule is simple: do not jet-wash, drill, sand, or break the material. Intact cement sheets in good condition are much safer left alone until a trained team can unbolt and remove them whole.
- • Safe dismantling & wrapping: We carefully unbolt roofing sheets, dampen down where needed, wrap all hazardous materials securely, and transport them to a licensed facility with full waste consignment paperwork.
- • Complete garage roof rebuilds: Once the old roof is cleared, our roofers can supply and fit modern plastisol-coated steel profile sheets, translucent rooflights, new timber purlins, or durable flat roof membranes.
- • No deposit under £5,000: We provide free, clear quotes across Dawlish, Devon, and the wider South West, and we never ask for a deposit on jobs under £5,000. (Please note: we carry out removal, disposal, and roof replacement, not testing surveys.)
