About our asbestos garage roof removal in Argos Hill
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include garages before a new roof or conversion and block garages, involving cement wall panels, downpipes and bargeboards.
Rural garages near Argos Hill are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Argos Hill questions
My garage in Argos Hill has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like Argos Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Is my garage roof in Argos Hill asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What it might be made of
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Worth knowing before you book:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
Choosing the right option
What about painting or overcladding? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. Our guide covers the options. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why us?
- Clear advice on your options
- Work done to the regulations
- Records for your files
- Waste paperwork for every removal
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
What happens next
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Some practical advice:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let neighbours know beforehand
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
