At 1st Choice Waste Collection, we safely dismantle, bag, and dispose of hazardous asbestos materials before rebuilding your garage or outbuilding roof with durable, weatherproof modern sheeting. Straightforward pricing, free quotes, and no deposit required on jobs under £5,000.
Please note: We carry out licensed waste disposal, full removal, and replacement work, but we do not provide standalone asbestos testing or surveys.
Old asbestos cement roofs, floor tiles, and textured coatings become brittle and hazardous when they weather or crack. Rather than leaving you with a stripped structure or bags of toxic waste on your drive, our team handles the entire job from safe dismantling right through to fitting your new roof and issuing official disposal paperwork.
Most single and double garage roofs can be safely stripped and re-roofed in a single day. We wet down the old corrugated sheets, unbolt them intact without angle-grinding, check your timber purlins or concrete trusses, and fit plastisol-coated steel profile sheets, translucent rooflights, or modern flat roof membranes with new uPVC fascias and guttering.
View Garage Roof ServiceSwirled and stippled Artex ceilings applied before 2000 frequently contain white asbestos (chrysotile) to strengthen the plaster mix. Dry sanding or scraping releases dangerous dust into your rooms. We sheet off the area, use controlled low-dust removal techniques or drop the affected plasterboard intact, and leave the ceiling timbers ready for your plasterer.
View Artex Removal ServiceOld 9-inch and 12-inch vinyl floor tiles—along with the black bitumen adhesive underneath—often contain asbestos fibres, as do suspended ceiling tiles in workshops and offices. We carefully lift floor and ceiling tiles with minimal breakage, double-bag the debris in UN-approved hazardous waste sacks, and vacuum the subfloor with H-Type filtration units.
View Tile Removal ServiceHeavy grey asbestos cement gutters, downpipes, and soffits crack easily during frosts, while moss washed off an old asbestos roof contaminates the gutter trough below. We safely unbolt seized cast and iron brackets at height, clear out contaminated gutter sludge, and fit modern, maintenance-free uPVC rainwater systems.

Local council tips rarely accept loose sheets without strict booking and wrapping rules. We come out, safely wrap and seal the sheets in heavy-duty polythene, transport them to a licensed transfer station, and give you the hazardous waste note.
View Disposal ServiceWhen replacing a leaky garage roof, customers often have years of damp timber, broken tools, and spoiled household items stored underneath. Through our sister operation, 1st Choice Waste Collection, we can clear out the clutter inside your garage or outbuilding at the same time so you get a clean, dry space ready to use immediately.
View Waste Clearance ServiceHomeowners often worry about dust blowing into the garden or their garage being left open to the rain overnight. Because we are experienced roofers as well as asbestos operatives, we coordinate the strip-out and rebuild seamlessly:
BEFORE: Weathered, moss-heavy asbestos cement sheets.
AFTER: New corrugated steel sheeting with translucent rooflights.
FINISHED RESULT: Watertight modern profile sheeting with matching ridge cappings and bargeboards.
Based in Dawlish and covering everywhere from Land's End to Bristol, we give honest, fixed quotes over the phone or on site. Call us between 9am and 5pm (or leave a voicemail and we will get straight back to you) to book your removal or replacement.
