Asbestos garage roof removal for Chazey Heath
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Chazey Heath
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Common materials are downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards, and typical jobs are cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and concrete-panel garages.
In places like Chazey Heath, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Materials, one by one
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.

How we price garage roof removal
Prices vary with:
- The type of material and its condition
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building

Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- A rough size or measurement
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A clear close-up
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
