Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let us know where we can park
- Give us a rough size
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Things not to do
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Your options compared
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Domestic and commercial work

Your questions about garage roof removal in Ide Hill
Is asbestos common in Ide Hill homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My garage in Ide Hill has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Do you work in Ide Hill?
We do: our area includes Ide Hill and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Helpful guides
How we price garage roof removal
The cost depends on:
- The type of material and its condition
- Access to the area
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How many samples are needed
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- An overall view
- How we’d reach it
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
