Expert Asbestos Roof Removal in Ashburton, Devon

Most of the time, the material found in local garages is Chrysotile, often called white asbestos. It’s usually 'non-licensed' work, but that doesn't mean it's a DIY job. As these roofs age, the Devon weather—with our fair share of damp and salt air—starts to break down the cement bond. Have you noticed moss growing heavily on the sheets or edges that look frayed and brittle? This is often when the risk of fibre release is highest. Instead of worrying every time there’s a gale, why not have us take a look? We’ve spent years helping Teignbridge residents identify which roofs are safe to stay and which ones really need to go before they become a bigger problem.

We take safety seriously because we live and work in this community too. When we arrive at your property in Ashburton, we don't just start swinging hammers. Our team uses specific 'wetting down' techniques to keep dust to an absolute minimum. We wear full PPE and RPE (that's the specialist masks and suits) and ensure the area is cordoned off. Every single sheet is carefully unscrewed—not snapped—and then double-wrapped or bagged according to strict UK health and safety regulations. We treat your garden and driveway with the same respect we’d treat our own, making sure not a single shard is left behind when we're done.

One of the biggest headaches with asbestos is actually getting rid of it. You can't just take it to the local tip in your boot. We handle all the legalities for you. Every bit of waste we remove is transported to an Environment Agency-regulated site. The best part? We provide you with a Waste Consignment Note. This is your official proof that the hazardous material has been disposed of legally and responsibly. It’s an essential document to have, especially if you ever decide to sell your house. It’s all part of our fully managed service designed to give you total peace of mind from start to finish.

Removing the asbestos is only half the story. Once the old sheets are gone, you're left with an open structure that needs protecting fast. That’s where our expertise as full-service roofing contractors in Ashburton really shines. We can seamlessly transition your project from a hazardous removal to a high-quality installation. Most our customers opt for modern GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber for their garages—they’re incredibly durable, look sleek, and unlike the old asbestos, they’ll never rust or rot. Imagine turning that old, dusty shed into a clean, dry space you can actually use for more than just storage.
