Solar panels and asbestos roof removal in Exeter
Solar panels fitted and maintained, and old asbestos roofs removed and replaced, by roofers who look after the roof underneath.
Solar panel installation and maintenance
Ayre Roofing install and maintain solar panels across Exeter and South Devon, and remove and replace old asbestos roofs. Both jobs go onto or off your roof, so having a roofer do them means the roof itself is looked after too.
We can quote to supply and fit solar panels, give you free advice on the best manufacturers, and maintain existing panels. Because we're roofers first, we make sure the roof under the panels is sound before they go on, and that every fixing through the roof is properly weathered.
Asbestos roof removal
Many older garages, outbuildings and sheds have roofs made from asbestos cement sheets. Left alone and in good condition they're usually low risk, but they shouldn't be broken up, drilled or removed by anyone who isn't trained to do it.
Ayre Roofing are licensed for the handling and removal of asbestos-containing roofing products. We can remove an old asbestos roof and replace it with a new roof, such as an EPDM flat roof or new sheeting.

Solar panels and asbestos: common questions
Is my old garage roof asbestos?
Many corrugated cement roofs on garages built before 2000 contain asbestos. Don't drill or break it. We can take a look and advise.
Can you replace an asbestos garage roof?
Yes. We remove the old sheets and fit a new roof, often EPDM rubber or new sheeting.
Do you check the roof before fitting solar panels?
Yes. There's no point putting panels on a roof that will need work in a few years. We check it first and tell you.
How much does it cost?
Both jobs depend on the size and access. We give a free, no-obligation quote.
