Asbestos garage roof removal across Bracknell Forest
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include ridge pieces, cement gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are lean-to roofs and broken sheets after high winds.
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Cost
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These come up again and again:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garage conversions
- Double garages
- Old, cracked sheets
Materials, one by one
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are typically asbestos cement too.
What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Book your roofer in advance
- Give us a rough size
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Prices and what affects them
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Parking and access charges
- How much there is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The number of samples or the size of the building
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Common questions in Bracknell Forest
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
