How asbestos garage roof removal works in Edmonton
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical jobs include sheet garages and block garages, including cement wall panels, cement gutters and bargeboards.
Garages around Edmonton are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Can I do it myself?
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.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How we work
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing. Garage roof removal in Edmonton is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.

After we have finished in Edmonton
We clear up and check for fragments.
To avoid problems in future:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never cut or break the sheets.
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
Which option is right?
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Clear advice on your options
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Waste paperwork for every removal

Common questions in Edmonton
Do older homes in Edmonton have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Edmonton can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in Edmonton normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you manage or own a block in Edmonton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
