Working around people
Work is often planned for holidays, weekends or closures. Ask how the contractor will separate the work area and keep people clear.
Paperwork and records
Responsible bodies need clear records: what was found, what was removed, where the waste went. Ask what documents the contractor will hand over.
Small sites and clubs
Village halls, sports clubs and community buildings often have cement sheet roofs on stores and extensions. Costs vary a lot, so ask for a written quote.
Who does the work, and what the law expects
Lymefield Asbestos Removal is an introduction service. We pass your details to an independent contractor, who provides the written quote, carries out the work and holds the insurance and any competence they need. Removing asbestos cement sheets is work with real exposure risk, so it should be done by trained people with dust controls, and the waste should be wrapped, labelled and taken by a registered carrier.
What to send us
- Two or three clear photos of the roof and the building
- Roughly how big it is, in sheets or metres
- The age of the building if you know it
- Whether it leaks or is cracked
- Whether you want a new roof, and any deadline
Prices on this site are guides only. Only the contractor's written quote counts.

Good to know.
Can work be done in holidays?
Often yes. Tell the contractor your closure dates when you enquire.
Do you cover village halls and clubs?
Yes. Send photos and details and a local contractor will reply.
Who is responsible?
The owner or manager of the building. A contractor can help with the plan.
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.
Where we cover.
Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stoke-on-Trent and the towns and villages around them.
Tell us about the roof.
A local contractor reviews your details and photos, then replies with a written quote for removing the old roof and, if you want it, fitting a new one. Free to ask, no obligation.
