About our asbestos garage roof removal in Carterton
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. We often deal with downpipes, cement gutters and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are single and double garage roofs and garages before a new roof or conversion.
Garage conversions are popular in towns like Carterton, and the old cement roof is generally the first thing to go. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

After we have finished in Carterton
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Once we’re done:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- How much waste there is
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The size of the job
- Travel and parking
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- Street parking nearby
- A photo of the whole area
- Damaged areas
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Every job is quoted in writing. Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details, including any survey or test you already have.

Corrugated sheets

For businesses and landlords in Carterton
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Carterton questions
My garage in Carterton has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Carterton homes?
Any home in Carterton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
