After the job
Share the paperwork with your builder.
To avoid problems in future:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help

Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
How we price garage roof removal
Our quotes take into account:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much there is
- Travel and parking
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A rough size or measurement
- The parking area
- A photo of the whole area
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Which option is right?
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why us?
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Records for your files

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Garlinge: your questions answered
Do you cover Garlinge from London?
We cover Garlinge, about 63 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Garlinge typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
