How asbestos garage roof removal works in Cowesfield Gate
Many garages built before 2000, in Cowesfield Gate and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. We often deal with cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards, and typical jobs are pieces of broken roof and block garages.
Rural garages near Cowesfield Gate are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Which option is right?
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

What happens next
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
To avoid problems in future:
- Give us a rough size
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Don’ts
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Why people call us in Cowesfield Gate
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Double garages
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garage blocks
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
If you let a house with a garage near Dean station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Cowesfield Gate
Do you cover small places like Cowesfield Gate?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in Cowesfield Gate 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.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
