How asbestos garage roof removal works in Greengate
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include roofs to clear before demolition and sheet garages, involving corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
In Greengate, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- High winds can delay roof work
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

What it might be made of
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Should you do 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.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Weighing up your options
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
