How we price garage roof removal
The cost depends on:
- The survey scope
- How easy it is to reach
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Disposal costs
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
To help us quote quickly, send:
- A picture of the whole area
- A clear close-up
- The access route
- The parking area
For a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across the Isle of Wight.
These come up again and again:
- Garages in a row or block
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages due for demolition
- Single garages
In Dunsbury, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.

A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Dunsbury
Do older homes in Dunsbury have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Dunsbury typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
