Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Crowmarsh Gifford properties
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include garages in a row or block and pieces of broken roof, involving cement wall panels, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
Garages around Crowmarsh Gifford may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Helpful guides
The scope of garage roof removal
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
Looking after things afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Once we are done:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- File the waste paperwork
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
Don’ts
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
A closer look at the materials
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.

- What the material is and its state
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much waste there is
The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help

Will I get the price in writing?

Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
