Asbestos garage roof removal in Broad Street
Weighing up your options
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Identify first, remove only when needed

About our asbestos garage roof removal in Broad Street
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Typical jobs include sheet garages and garages in a row or block, including ridge pieces, downpipes and cement wall panels.
Garages around Broad Street may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- The category of work
- Material and condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Parking and access charges
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- A picture of the whole area
- How we’d reach it
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Common questions in Broad Street
Do you come out to small villages like Broad Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Broad Street homes?
If your home in Broad Street was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
