Expert Asbestos Roof Removal in Chagford, Devon

Is your garage roof looking a bit worse for wear? Most of the asbestos we encounter across West Devon is asbestos cement, often containing chrysotile (white asbestos). While it's generally safe if left alone, our maritime climate—with its heavy rain and high winds—can cause these sheets to degrade over time. When the material starts to crumble or break, it can lead to fibre release, which is when the real health risks begin. We've seen many homeowners in Chagford worry about whether they can even touch the roof to clear the gutters; the answer is always to call in the professionals before the problem gets worse.

We don't just 'rip and replace'—we follow a very specific safety protocol to keep your family and neighbours safe. Our team is fully trained in non-licensed asbestos removal, adhering strictly to the Control of Asbestos Regulations. We use a technique called 'wetting down' to ensure no dust or fibres can become airborne while we work. Every sheet is carefully unscrewed—never smashed—and then double-bagged or wrapped in heavy-duty polythene. It's about doing the job right, with the proper PPE and RPE, so you don't have to worry about what's lingering in the air once we've left.

Ever wondered what happens to the asbestos once it leaves your driveway? You can't just take it to the local tip. We handle the entire disposal process through Environment Agency-regulated sites, ensuring everything is tracked correctly. Once the job is done, we provide you with a Waste Consignment Note. This is a vital piece of paperwork that proves the hazardous waste was disposed of legally and safely. Whether you're selling your home in the future or just want it for your records, it's that final bit of reassurance that the job was handled by experts.

Removing the hazard is only half the story; you still need a roof that keeps the rain out! Because we're full-service roofing specialists, we can transition your project seamlessly from removal to a brand-new installation. Once the old sheets are gone, we can fit a high-performance replacement that looks great and lasts for decades. Many of our Chagford customers choose modern GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber for a sleek, leak-proof finish, while others prefer traditional tiling to match the character of West Devon. We'll help you pick the best materials for your budget and your property's style.
