Asbestos in Burslem
Burslem is the oldest of the six towns, with pottery-era terraces, works buildings and yards. Small outbuildings and yard buildings often carry cement sheet roofs added between the 1950s and 1980s.
What is typical here
Rear-yard garages and stores, old works outbuildings and workshop roofs.
Burslem is in or next to Stoke-on-Trent. If your garage or outbuilding was put up before about 2000 and has grey cement sheets on the roof, it is worth getting a view before anything is drilled, scrubbed or knocked off.
What we can help with in Burslem
- Garage roof removal: A corrugated garage roof from before 2000 may be asbestos cement.
- New garage roof: Taking the old roof off is half the job.
- Sheds and outbuildings: Sheds, stores and workshops often carry the same corrugated cement sheets as garages.
- Lean-tos and porches: Lean-tos, car ports and rear extensions were often roofed with cement sheet.
- Soffits and cladding: Roof edges and gable ends often carry the same material as the roof.
- Farm buildings: Barns, grain stores, stables and field shelters often have large cement sheet roofs.
- Commercial and industrial: Industrial units and workshops from the 1960s to 1990s often have large cement roofs.
- Schools and public buildings: Public buildings need extra planning around people.
Results, council and paperwork
The relevant council for Burslem is Stoke-on-Trent City Council. Asbestos roof waste is wrapped, labelled and taken by a registered carrier to a licensed site, and you should be given the paperwork afterwards. Do not take sheets to a household recycling centre or put them in a skip yourself; the contractor can explain the lawful route and what paperwork to expect.

Questions from Burslem.
Can the roofs of old pottery outbuildings be replaced?
Often yes, once the contractor has checked the structure and the material. Older buildings sometimes need timber repairs before a new roof can go on.
Do you do the roofing yourselves?
No. We are an introduction service. We pass your details and photos to an independent local contractor, who provides the written quote and carries out the work.
What should I send?
Two or three clear photos of the roof and the building, roughly how big it is, whether it leaks, and a postcode. A phone photo is fine.
Should I test it first?
Not always. Many contractors treat a cement sheet roof of that age as asbestos. A laboratory test gives certainty and a record, and the contractor can advise.
Do you cover farms, businesses and schools?
Yes. We introduce contractors who work on domestic, commercial, industrial, agricultural and public-building roofs around Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme.
What happens to the old sheets?
They are wrapped, labelled and taken by a registered carrier to a licensed site. You should receive the waste paperwork after the job.
Can a new roof be fitted at the same time?
Often yes. Tell us you want a new roof when you enquire so the quote covers it.
Other places we cover.
The same service is available across Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding towns and villages.
