How we price garage roof removal
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Travel and parking
- The size of the job
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

For businesses and landlords in Heads Hill
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Before booking, note that:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
What happens
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In December, it’s dark in Heads Hill by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Getting ready
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
How to get a quote

What happens next
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Weighing up your options
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

Questions from Heads Hill
Do you cover small places like Heads Hill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in Heads Hill has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is usually a short job, though access and condition affect it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
