Choosing the right option
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What you get
- Across London and the South East
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- No removal until we know what it is
Take a look at how we price jobs and the cost guide.
Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Typical garage roof jobs in Bredhurst
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Sheet garages
- Garage blocks
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
Near open spaces such as Boxley Hills, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Questions to ask before booking
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- VAT, clearly stated

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- What the material is and its state
- The category of work
- Disposal costs
- How easy it is to reach
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- The access route
- Cracks or breaks
- An idea of size
- A close-up from a safe distance
Send us the address in Bredhurst, a description and some photos: use our quote form or call 07833 053 749, and we will reply with a quote.
FAQs for Bredhurst
Do you cover Bredhurst from London?
We cover Bredhurst, about 31 miles from central London.
My garage in Bredhurst has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
The process
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum. Late-December sunset in Bredhurst is about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
How to prepare
- Dig out previous surveys
- Let us know where we can park
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
