Afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Bishopsgate: your questions answered
My garage in Bishopsgate 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 work near London Liverpool Street station?
Yes. London Liverpool Street station is close to the centre of Bishopsgate, and we cover the whole area.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is normally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
