Asbestos garage roof removal for Friar's Hill properties
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. People often contact us about garages being knocked down and single garages, involving corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In a village like Friar's Hill, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Friar's Hill questions
Are garage roofs in Friar's Hill generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Could my house in Friar's Hill contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
After we’ve finished in Friar's Hill
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- File the waste paperwork
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Never cut or break the sheets.

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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Weighing up your options
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
